@@ -5,7 +5,9 @@ This is a fork of trayfreq, intended to work on modern Linux systems.
 The original trayfreq wasn't compatible with Archlinux, due to the migration away from a `/proc/acpi` directory.
 I forked the project and got it working again.
 
-Personally, I don't test on any Linux distributions apart from Archlinux, but I see no reason it shouldn't work.
+If you're using ArchLinux, just jump over to the [AUR page for this software](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/trayfreq-archlinux) and install it that way.

+Despite the software's name, it should work on other distros as well.

 The sort of parameters you might pass to a ./configure can instead be passed to make.

 Here's a list:

-* PREFIX to prepend to BINDIR, LOCALE_DIR etc

 * LOCALE_DIR to override default of `/usr/share/locale`
 * SUDO to override default sudo program `/usr/bin/sudo`
 * MAKE to override default make program `make`
 * CC to override default compiler `gcc`
 * TRAYFREQ_SET to override default trayfreq-set program of `PREFIX/BINDIR/trayfreq-set`

 Installation
 ============
-If you're using ArchLinux, just jump over to the AUR, download and unpack the tarball, `cd` to the newly unpacked folder and run `makepkg`.
-
-For all other systems, you'll probably be compiling from source.
-In that case, `make install` will install the package, making the assumption that:
-
-* Binaries (trayfreq, trayfreq-set) will go in `/usr/bin`
-* Locale directory starts at `/usr/share/locale`
-* Your sysconfdir is `/etc` (can't currently be changed)
-* You're installing to `/`
-
-In general, a plain `make install` should work if you're installing straight to `/`, i.e. you're not building a package or anything.
+A plain `make install` should work if you're installing straight to `/`, i.e. you're not building a package or anything.
 If you *are* building a package or installing to a special dir, then you might want something like this:
 
-	make install PREFIX=/path/to/package/temp/dir LOCALE_DIR=/usr/share/locale
+	make install DESTDIR=/path/to/package/temp/dir
 
 This will prefix **all** paths with `/path/to/package/temp/dir` while installing.
-LOCALE_DIR has to be overridden due to the stripping of `/usr/` from it when manually setting a prefix.
-**Check the command lines as they go past.**
-Now's the time to check that everything's going to go in the right place.
