+Installing Lasso
+================
+
+Configuring and Building
+========================
+
+Lasso uses the GNU automake and autoconf to handle system dependency
+checking. It is developed and built locally on GNU/Linux (Debian) both
+on x86 and PowerPC processors, but is also compiled via Debian
+infrastructure on several other architectures.
+
Basic Installation
==================
-These are generic installation instructions.
-
The 'configure' shell script attempts to guess correct values for
various system-dependent variables used during compilation. It uses
those values to create a 'Makefile' in each directory of the package.
