-CARBS LINUX DOCUMENTATION
-================================================================================
+Carbs Linux User Manual
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-This is the source of offline documentation for Carbs Linux. It is a part of the
-'core' repository and can be obtained by installing it with kiss.
+This is the Carbs Linux documentation written with Texinfo. It can be viewed
+offline by installing the `carbs-docs` package. Distribution tarballs comes with
+prebuilt info and plaintext pages, so they don't depend on the `texinfo`
+package.
- +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- | $ kiss b carbs-docs |
- | $ kiss i carbs-docs |
- +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+There are two packages in the repository for viewing info files, `texinfo` and
+`info`. The `info` package only comes with the statically linked documentation
+reader, so you don't need `perl` to install it.
-This documentation isn't complete yet, you can help by expanding it.

+To generate pages from the git repository you will need to install `texinfo`.
