+Nagios Plugins Quick-and-Dirty Installation Instructions
+--------------------------------------------------------
+
+0) If using the CVS tree, you need m4, automake, and autoconf. To
+   start out, run:
+
+	# autoconf
+	# autoheader
+	# automake
+
+   or you can run ./tools/setup
+
+   Currently we are only supporting autoconf 2.13 and automake 1.4p5. Support
+   for the latest autoconf and automake are in the works.
+
+
+1) Run the configure script to initialize variables and create a Makefile, etc.
+
+	./configure --prefix=BASEDIRECTORY --with-nagios-user=SOMEUSER --with-nagios-group=SOMEGROUP --with-cgiurl=SOMEURL
+
+   a) Replace BASEDIRECTORY with the path of the directory under which Nagios
+      is installed (default is '/usr/local/nagios')
+   b) Replace SOMEUSER with the name of a user on your system that will be
+      assigned permissions to the installed plugins (default is 'nagios')
+   c) Replace SOMEGRP with the name of a group on your system that will be
+      assigned permissions to the installed plugins (default is 'nagios')
+   d) Replace CGIURL with the path used to access the Nagios CGIs with
+      a web browser (default is '/nagios/cgi-bin')
+
+
+2) Compile the plugins with the following command:
+
+	make all
+
+
+3) Install the compiled plugins and plugin scripts with the following command:
+
+	make install
+
+   NOTE: 
+   The installation procedure will attempt to place the plugins in a 
+   'libexec/' subdirectory in the base directory you specified with
+   the --prefix argument to the configure script.
+
+
+4) Verify that your host configuration file (hosts.cfg) for Nagios contains
+   the correct paths to the new plugins.
+
+
+
+That's it.  If you have any problems or questions, feel free send mail
+to nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net or nagiosplug-help@lists.sourceforge.net
+
+Please send patches and bugs to nagiosplug-devel@lists.sourceforge.net and
+post them on http://sourceforge.net/projects/nagiosplug.
