+########## PRIVOXY INSTALL #############
+
+For more info after the install, configure and use refer to the README in the
+same dir as the INSTALL
+
+To build Privoxy from source, autoconf, GNU make (gmake), and, of course, a C
+compiler like gcc are required.
+
+When building from a source tarball (either release version or nightly CVS
+tarball), first unpack the source:
+
+ tar xzvf privoxy-3.1.1-beta-src* [.tgz or .tar.gz]                            
+ cd privoxy-3.1.1-beta                                                         
+
+For retrieving the current CVS sources, you'll need CVS installed. Note that
+sources from CVS are development quality, and may not be stable, or well
+tested. To download CVS source:
+
+  cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.ijbswa.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/ijbswa login          
+  cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.ijbswa.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/ijbswa co current 
+  cd current                                                                         
+
+This will create a directory named current/, which will contain the source
+tree.
+
+you can too check any privoxy branch, just change the "current" name with the
+wanted branch name (Example: v_3_0_branch for the 3.0 cvs tree)
+
+you should create the user and group that privoxy will run, the default is
+"privoxy" for both
+
+you can change the user and group with --with-user= and --with-group= in the
+./configure step
+
+the user and group should have the login disabled for better safety
+
+here is my /etc/passwd entry 
+
+privoxy:*:7777:7777:privoxy proxy:/no/home:/no/shell
+
+and my /etc/group entry
+
+privoxy:*:7777:privoxy
+
+Then, in either case, to build from unpacked tarball or CVS source:
+
+ autoheader                                                                    
+ autoconf                                                                      
+ ./configure      # (--help to see options, see the warning below)                                    
+ make             # (the make from gnu, gmake for *BSD)                        
+ su                                                                            
+ make -n install  # (to see where all the files will go)                       
+ make install     # (to really install)                                        
+
+If you have gnu make, you can have the first four steps automatically done for
+you by just typing:
+
+  make                 
+
+in the freshly downloaded or unpacked source directory.
+
+** WARNING **
+
+1- if you are installing in /usr/local or / (root) the use of 
+
+  --sysconfdir=$prefix/etc/privoxy
+
+is recommended for a safer (there may already exist other program that uses a
+file with the "config" name) and cleaner and easier to use etc dir
+
+2- for user install dont forget to give the --with-user and --with-group equal
+to the current user or tune things later
+
+** END OF WARNING **
+
+For more detailed instructions on how to build Redhat and SuSE RPMs, Windows
+self-extracting installers, building on platforms with special requirements
+etc, please consult the developer manual.
+
+For binary RPM installation, and other platforms, see the user-manual as well.
+
+Now go read the README to learn what should you do next
