+This script is used for building SuSE Linux RPMs in
+a clean and safe chroot'ed build environment.
+
+At first you need to copy your SuSE Linux CDs into a
+path reachable by the build script, for example /home/suse-8.2-i386.
+
+If you have a DVD Drive and the SuSE Linux DVD, you can mount it
+and use this as the source for the RPMs.
+
+To build an RPM, change into the directory with the sources
+and the SPEC file. Then start the build script:
+env BUILD_RPMS=/home/suse-8.2-i386/suse build
+
+If this was successful you can find the binary and source RPMs below
+/var/tmp/build-root/usr/src/packages/
+
+Note: Depending on which package you want to build, you'll need
+a few hundred megabytes for the build in /var/tmp/build-root.
+
+For more information on using build, see 'man build'.
