+Background
+==========
+
+The files in this directory contains everything that is needed to set
+up the tracker that can be found at
+
+    http://tracker.lysator.liu.se:6969/
+
+This is the second reincarnation of the tracker.  The first one was
+lost shortly after it was set up when the web server was reinstalled
+after a cracker wreaked havoc.  This time, this package is created, in
+the hope that recovery will be faster should a similar disaster happen
+again in the future.
+
+Some residual configuration may still be present in the Lysator system
+from the first attempt, so this might not be everything you need to do
+to set up a tracker from scratch.
+
+Installation
+============
+
+Follow these steps:
+
+1. Install bittorrent.
+
+    # apt-get install bittorrent
+
+2. Ensure that sherman:/web/bittorrent is mounted on all of Lysators
+   CPU servers and workstations as /lysator/bittorrent.
+
+3. Create an initscript.  The supplied one works on Debian:
+
+    # cp bttrack.debian /etc/init.d/debian
+
+4. Start the daemon:
+
+    # /etc/init.d/debian start
+
+TODO:
+
+ - rotate the log
+ - link the initscript so that the tracker starts after a reboot
