+1. Introduction
+---------------
+
+This package's purpose is to provide a set of utilities for interfacing
+with sysfs, a virtual filesystem in Linux kernel versions 2.5+ that
+provides a tree of system devices. While a filesystem is a very useful
+interface, we've decided to provide a stable programming interface
+that will hopefully make it easier for applications to query system devices
+and their attributes.
+
+This package currently includes:
+
+- libsysfs: a library for accessing system devices.
+- systool: an application to view system device information by bus, class,
+	and topology.
+- A number of example usage routines in the "test" directory.
+- A comprehensive testsuite, also shipped as part of the "test" directory. This
+	testsuite can be used to test _all_ the APIs exported by Libsysfs.
+	Please refer the libsysfs.txt file in the "docs" directory for
+	details as to how to use the testsuite.
+
+
+2. How to Install
+-----------------
+
+Run the "configure" script to generate Makefiles. Use "make" to build the
+library and utilities.
+
+For a successful install, run "make install" as super-user. "make uninstall"
+will clean up all installed files.
+
