+Carbs Linux User Manual
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+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.
+
+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.
+
+ cpt-build info carbs-docs
+
+To generate pages from the git repository you will need to install `texinfo`.
+
+ git clone git://git.carbslinux.org/docs
+ cpt-build texinfo && cpt-install texinfo
+ make
+ make PREFIX=/usr install
+ install-info /usr/share/info/carbslinux.info /usr/share/info/dir
