 ### Build Requirements
 
-Only tested on a debian wheezy host with many development packages already
-installed; YMMV.
+By default a live image is built intented to be run on a DreamPlug device from

 Install live-build and qemu:
 
     sudo apt-get install qemu-user-static qemu-utils debootstrap live-build

 Once the above build requirements are satisfied:
 
     lb clean --purge
-    lb clean --binary
-    lb clean
     lb config
     lb build
 
-    lb clean --binary
-    lb config
-    lb binary_chroot
-    lb binary_rootfs
-    lb binary_hdd

+### Install and Boot
+
+Read ./doc/dreamplug.txt and ./doc/sd-card.txt.
