+Type './configure --help' for configuration options. The normal settings for a
+GNU package should work. If not, please make a bug report.
+
+	On a common GNU/Linux distribution the following should
+	be sufficient for most users:
+
+		./configure --prefix=/usr
+		make
+		make install DESTDIR="somewhere you want the files for now"
+		# Now let the package manager put the files in place...
+
+	Or for an unstaged install:
+
+		./configure --prefix=/usr
+		make
+		sudo make install
+
+By default any applicable pre-install, post-install, pre-uninstall, and
+post-install commands is run. This suppress these, run 'make' with 'N=true'
+or 'N=:'. IF you want to know which these commands are, you can use the
+methods specificed in the GNU Coding Standards. Another method is found in
+mk/README. However, for this packages, these will be:
+
+	infodir="usr/local/share/info" ## Assuming default prefix.
+	
+	post_install () {
+	  install-info -- "${infodir}/sleeping-getty.info" "${infodir}/dir"
+	}
+	
+	pre_uninstall () {
+	  install-info --delete -- "${infodir}/sleeping-getty.info" "${infodir}/dir"
+	}
