+OpenADK - A GNU/Linux construction kit 
+======================================
+
+This is a menu based buildsystem for your home made embedded Linux system.
+
+Before you can start you need to install some tools: 
+- bash
+- gcc 
+- binutils 
+- GNU make
+- GNU tar
+- GNU awk
+- GNU sed
+- patch
+- gzip
+- bzip2
+- cpio 
+- wget
+- flex
+- bison
+- file
+- unzip
+- autoconf
+- automake
+- zlib-dev / libz-dev
+- libncurses5-dev
+- libc-dev
+
+There is a check for the required versions of these tools in advance, though
+(to re-issue the checks, use "make prereq").
+
+Please use "make menuconfig" to choose your embedded system and configure like you
+want to.
+
+Simply running 'make' will build the firmware for your embedded system.  The
+buildsystem will download all sources, build the toolchain, the kernel and all
+applications.
+
+Sunshine!
