+Installing fdupes
+--------------------------------------------------------------------
+To install the program, issue the following commands:
+
+make fdupes
+su root
+make install
+
+This will install the program in /usr/local/bin. You may change this 
+to a different location by editing the Makefile. Please refer to
+the Makefile for an explanation of compile-time options. If you're
+having trouble compiling, please take a look at the Makefile.
+
+UPGRADING NOTE: When upgrading from a version prior to 1.2, it should 
+be noted that the default installation directory for the fdupes man
+page has changed from "/usr/man" to "/usr/local/man". If installing
+to the default location you should delete the old man page before
+proceeding. This file would be named "/usr/man/man1/fdupes.1".
+
+A test directory is included so that you may familiarise yourself
+with the way fdupes operates. You may test the program before
+installing it by issuing a command such as "./fdupes testdir" 
+or "./fdupes -r testdir", just to name a couple of examples. Refer
+to the documentation for information on valid options.
