+Distribution-Specific Instructions
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+==== Debian 4.0 (Etch)
+  apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` build-essential libnewt-dev libusb-dev
+
+==== Debian 3.1 (Sarge)
+  apt-get install kernel-headers-`uname -r` build-essential libnewt-dev libusb-dev
+
+==== RHEL4 / CentOS 4
+You need the following non-kernel-related packages:
+
+  yum install gcc newt-devel libusb-devel
+
+If the following command produces an error, you need to install
+ithe kernel devel package:
+
+  ls /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/.config
+
+The right one depends on your kernel version. If the following command
+produces output you have an SMP kernel:
+
+  uname -r | grep smp
+
+and thus need to run:
+
+  yum install kernel-smp kernel-smp-devel
+
+If that command produced no output, you have a non-SMP kernel:
+
+  yum install kernel kernel-devel
+
+At this point you should probably reboot to get the new kernel in effect.
