+Installation Instructions for procps
+====================================
+Depending on what format you are using to get these files, you
+might need to run the `autogen.sh` program to create the
+configure script. If you have a configure script already then
+you might not need it.
+
+A typical installation would go something like
+
+ ./autogen.sh
+ ./configure
+ make
+ make install
+
+The configure script has a lot of options, so please have a read
+of `configure --help` to see what they are and what they are used
+for.
+
+Testing
+-------
+procps has a series of test scripts (and more are welcome if they
+are repeatable). You will need to install DejaGNU to run it and
+it is simply:
+
+ make check
