+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.
