+    Please note that by disabling DBUS you lose the ability to publish and browse

+    Please note that Avahi currently ships with a init scripts for only a few

+	$ make
+	# make install
+	# ldconfig
+
+Add a user an a group for avahi. (Debian specific)
+	# addgroup --system avahi
+	# adduser --system --no-create-home --ingroup avahi avahi
+
+Ask DBUS to re-read its policies:
+	# kill -HUP `cat /var/run/dbus/pid`
+
+Now start the Avahi daemon:
+	# /etc/init.d/avahi-daemon start
 
-# addgroup --system avahi
-# adduser --system --no-create-home --ingroup avahi avahi
-	(These commands are Debian specific and may be different on other

+Optionally start the unicast DNS configuration daemon:
+	# /etc/init.d/avahi-dnsconfd start
 
-# kill -HUP `cat /var/run/dbus/pid`
-	(This will ask DBUS to re-read its policies)
-# /etc/dbus-1/event.d/75avahi-daemon start
+To start the two daemons at boot time on Debian based distributions:
+	with DBUS support:
+	# ln -s /etc/init.d/avahi-daemon /etc/dbus-1/event.d/75avahi-daemon
+	# ln -s /etc/init.d/avahi-dnsconfd /etc/dbus-1/event.d/76avahi-dnsconfd
 
-- To automatically start avahi-dnsconfd on Debian based distro:

+If you plan to use avahi-autoipd you have to create the user/group
+"avahi-autoipd" much the same way as "avahi".
