+Fetching data for a debuginfofs server: the easy way
+1) edit config.sh - the defaults should be fine for most people.
+2) edit rsync-fedora-debuginfo.sh
+   - Change 'server' to something closer to you
+   - If you need something other than Fedora, you're on your own.
+
+Fetching data for a debuginfofs server: complete instructions
+1) edit config.sh - again, the defaults should be fine for most people.
+2) Fetch all the debuginfo RPMs somewhere
+   - If you've got them on an NFS mount somewhere, this is easy.
+   - Eventually there'll be a 'fetch-debuginfo-rpms' script that will do the
+     right thing for Fedora or RHEL, let you use http/ftp mirrors, etc.
+   - For now: you're on your own.
+3) find $rpmdir -name "*.rpm" -exec ./unpack-debuginfo.sh my-debuginfo-dir {} +
+4) ./make-links.sh my-debuginfo-dir
+
+Running the debuginfofs server
+1) cp dav-debuginfo.conf /etc/httpd/conf.d
+   - Make sure the Alias line matches exportdir in config.sh
+2) service httpd start
+
+Mounting the debuginfofs on the client
+1) cp debuginfofs.init /etc/init.d
+2) cp debuginfofs.sysconfig /etc/sysconfig/debuginfofs
+   - Make sure DEBUGINFOFS_HOST matches your server
+3) service debuginfofs start
