+BUILDING AN RPM
+
+The easy way is to:
+
+rpmbuild -ta <tarfile>
+
+where <tarfile> is the archive you downloaded of Box Backup.
+
+This RPM should work on RedHat Enterprise, Fedora Core, Mandrake, SUSE, and
+any similar distributions. It has been developed and tested on Fedora Core.
+
+Changes for SUSE Linux were provided by Chris Smith
+(chris.smith@nothingbutnet.co.nz).
