+==========================
+Installation Instructions:
+==========================
+
+First, make sure you have the proper bulid
+dependencies installed.  On a normal Debian
+or Ubuntu system, those dependencies are:
+
+python-all-dev
+python-all
+python-support
+libboost-dev
+libboost-thread-dev
+libboost-date-time-dev
+libboost-filesystem-dev
+libboost-serialization-dev
+libboost-program-options-dev
+libboost-regex-dev
+zlib1g-dev
+
+But the names of the packages may vary
+depending on your OS / distro.
+
+Once you have the needed libraries installed,
+build Deluge by running:
+
+	python setup.py build
+
+You shouldn't get any errors.  Then run, as 
+root (or by using sudo): 
+
+	python setup.py install
+
+and Deluge will be installed.
+
+You can then run Deluge by executing:
+
+	deluge
+	
+Notes:
+
+1) On some distributions, boost libraries are 
+ renamed to have "-mt" at the end (boost_thread_mt
+ instead of boost_thread, for example), the "mt" 
+ indicating "multithreaded". In some cases it 
+ appears the distros lack symlinks to connect 
+ things. The solution is to either add symlinks 
+ from the short names to those with "-mt", or to 
+ alter setup.py to look for the "-mt" versions.
