+1. INSTALLATION
+ ============
+
+Q. How can I install abcde on my system?
+A. To get abcde you can use a pre-packaged version, available for Debian,
+ FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD and others.
+ In case you want to install your own release, you need to download the
+ sources and install the complementary programs (abcde is just a frontend
+ and its functionality is provided by other programs).
+ Read
+
+ abcde needs cd-discid. Grab it from:
+ http://www.hispalinux.es/~data/files/cd-discid/
