-This is the first release of Bacula, and as such it
-is perhaps a bit rough around the edges. As you will
-note, I don't follow the standard GNU release numbering
-conventions, but rather one that I started in 1970.
-My internal releases were 0.nn, the first release to
-another user was 1.0, each modified source code release
-then gets a new minor release (1.1, ...) as well as
-a date. Each major change in the software -- e.g. new
-tape format will have the major release number incremented.
-
-Your best bet for getting Bacula up and running
-is to read the manual, which can be found in
-<bacula-main-directory>/doc/html-manual, or in
-<bacula-main-directory>/doc/bacula.pdf.
+Your best bet to get Bacula compiled and running is
+to read the online manual at:
+
+  http://www.bacula.org
 
 Barring reading the manual, you might try the
 following:
 
-CFLAGS="-g -Wall" \
+To Configure it:
+
   ./configure \
     --sbindir=$HOME/bacula/bin \
     --sysconfdir=$HOME/bacula/bin \
     --with-pid-dir=$HOME/bacula/bin \

+If you want to use SQLite, please download depkgs and

-   There should be no errors.  The most likely source of
-   errors will probably come in the src/stored directory
-   in time.c or dev.c.  There may also be problems in
-   lib/signal.c as I currently pull in all Linux signals,
-   some of which may not be available on your system.

+To start it:

+   cd $HOME/bacula/bin
+   ./bacula start
+
+To start it (as a developer). This is not appropriate if you
+are installing Bacula.
+
+   ./startit
+   ./console (or ./gnome-console)
+
+To stop it:
+
+  ./stopit
+
+Well, it is all just a bit more complicated than that,
+but you should have the idea.
+
+Be sure you read the chapter about testing your tape drive!
+Don't waste a lot of time setting up and running Bacula, if
+your drive is not supported.
+
+FreeBSD users, pay special attention to the Device configuration
+parameters needed to deal with FreeBSD tape drivers.
