-Quickstart version for users:
 
--1) If you don't have libevent, install it.  Source is at
-    http://www.monkey.org/~provos/libevent/ .
-0) Download the absolute newest version. No, really.
-  http://tor.eff.org/dist/
-1) tar xvf it, and then cd into the directory.
-2) ./configure
-3) make
-4) make install (as root if necessary)
-5) tor (if it doesn't work, give it the whole path or fix your path)
-  You don't need to run this as root, and you probably shouldn't.
-  (If you're having problems, try running it with "-l info" to get
-   more details.)
-6) point your browser to socks4 or socks5 proxy at localhost port
-  9050. In mozilla, this is in edit|preferences|advanced|proxies. This
-  allows you to test to make sure Tor is installed correctly.
-  (If you have a personal firewall, be sure to allow local connections
-   to port 9050.)
-  (If your firewall blocks outgoing connections, punch a hole so it
-   can connect to TCP *:9001-9004 and *:9031-9033)
-  (If you're using Safari as your browser, keep in mind that OS X before
-   10.3 claims to support socks but does not. You must do step 8.)
-7) make sure you've set it up correctly: go to
-  http://www.junkbusters.com/cgi-bin/privacy and see what IP it says
-  you're coming from. If it works, you should probably go on to step 8,
-  to get better privacy.
+Most users should simply follow the directions at
+http://tor.eff.org/docs/tor-doc-unix
 
-8) Optionally, install privoxy (www.privoxy.org), and add the line
-  "forward-socks4a / localhost:9050 ." (without the quotes -- don't forget
-  the dot) to its config file. Then change your mozilla to http proxy
-  at localhost port 8118 (and no socks proxy). You should also set your
-  SSL proxy to the same thing, to hide your https traffic. Using privoxy
-  will give you good html scrubbing as well.
+If you got the source from cvs, run "./autogen.sh", which will run the
+various auto* programs and then run ./configure for you. From there,
+refer to the above instructions.
