-# make install
+    Please note that by disabling DBUS you lose the ability to publish and browse
+    services from local applications.
+
+    Please note that only the Debian init script is currently up-to-date. 
+    YMMV on other distributions. Patches welcome!
+
+       $ make
+       # make install
+
+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`
 
-# addgroup --system avahi
-# adduser --system --no-create-home --ingroup avahi avahi
-       (These commands are Debian specific and may be different on other
-       distributions)
+Now start the Avahi daemon:
+       # /etc/init.d/avahi-daemon 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
+Optionally start the unicast DNS configuration daemon:
+       # /etc/init.d/avahi-dnsconfd start
 
-- To automatically start avahi-dnsconfd on Debian based distro:
-# update-rc.d avahi-dnsconfd defaults 25 15
+To start the two daemons on Debian based distributions automatically:
+       # update-rc.d avahi-daemon defaults 25 15
+       # update-rc.d avahi-dnsconfd defaults 26 14
