+To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following:
+
+1) run 'make'
+2) select which packages you wish to compile
+3) run 'make'
+4) wait while it compiles
+5) Use your shiney new root filesystem. Depending on which sortof
+ root filesystem you selecter, you may want to loop mount it,
+ chroot into it, loop mount it and then nfs mount that on your
+ target device, burn it to flash, or whatever is appropriate
+ for your target system.
+
+You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot. Have fun!
