+This is a development environment for ELKS-86
+
+You have to do make install as root
+Or:
+
+$ make bcc
+$ su -c "make install-bcc"
+$ make library
+$ su -c "make install-lib"
+$ make elksemu
+$ su -c "make install-emu"
+$ make tests
+
+All from the top directory.
+Once this is done new files will be /lib/elksemu, /usr/bcc/* and /usr/bin/bcc
+
+The bcc command defaults to using /usr/bcc/include and /usr/bcc/lib. Beware
+that /usr/bcc/include is a symlink into this directory.
+
+The as86 and ld86 with this are _different_ from the ones needed for the
+linux-i386 kernel but can replace them, the kernel-i386 ones _will_ _not_
+work correctly here!
+
+To compile the various tools as Linux-8086 binaries cd into the relevent
+directory and do a "make clean ; make" from there, note you'll have to
+do "ld" before "as". Currently bcc won't work this way.
+
+I _strongly_ suggest you install the kernel patch in the elksemu directory
+in your Linux-i386 kernel, it makes things _far_ easier.
