+===========================================
+rdesktop: A Remote Desktop Protocol client.
+===========================================
+
+rdesktop is a client for Microsoft Windows NT Terminal Server, Windows 2000
+Terminal Services, Windows XP Remote Desktop, and possibly other Terminal
+Services products.  rdesktop currently implements the RDP version 4 protocol.
+
+Installation
+------------
+rdesktop uses a typical GNU-style build procedure:
+
+	% ./configure [options]
+	% make
+	% make install
+
+where documentation for [options] can be found by running "./configure --help".
+Usually no options are necessary.  The default is to install under /usr/local,
+this can be changed with --prefix=directory.
+
+Invocation
+----------
+
+	% rdesktop [options] server
+
+where server is the name of the Terminal Services machine.  Note: if you
+receive "Connection refused", this probably means that the server does not have
+Terminal Services enabled, or there is a firewall blocking access.
+
+The rdesktop manual page lists the possible options ("man rdesktop").
