-Installation
-============
+If you are upgrading from an earlier version, see README.upgrades.
+
+For Debian and Ubuntu, you are best of using .deb files, either download from
+www.greenend.org.uk or built locally with 'fakeroot debian/rules binary'.  They
+will do the majority of the setup for you, using a debconf interface to collect
+details about your system.
+
+For FreeBSD, see README.freebsd (in conjunction with the notes below) and use
+scripts/setup.
+
+For Mac OS X, see README.mac (in conjunction with the notes below) and use
+scripts/setup.
