+    dwm - dynamic window manager
+    ============================
+    dwm is an extremely fast, small, and dynamic window manager for X.
+
+
+    Requirements
+    ------------
+    In order to build dwm you need the Xlib header files.
+
+
+    Installation
+    ------------
+    Edit config.mk to match your local setup (dwm is installed into
+    the /usr/local namespace by default).
+
+    Afterwards enter the following command to build and install dwm (if
+    necessary as root):
+
+        make clean install
+
+
+    Running dwm
+    -----------
+    Add the following line to your .xinitrc to start dwm using startx:
+
+        exec dwm
+
+    In order to connect dwm to a specific display, make sure that
+    the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly, e.g.:
+
+        DISPLAY=foo.bar:1 exec dwm
+
+    (This will start dwm on display :1 of the host foo.bar.)
+
+    In order to display status info in the bar, you can do something
+    like this in your .xinitrc:
+
+        while xsetroot -name "`date` `uptime | sed 's/.*,//'`"
+        do
+            sleep 1
+        done &
+        exec dwm
+
+
+    Configuration
+    -------------
+    The configuration of dwm is done by creating a custom config.h
+    and (re)compiling the source code.
