+This compilation contains man pages for various boot aspects on the Linux/Alpha
+platform. They are licensed under the GPL. Comments, suggestions and patches
+should be forwarded either to me or to the current aboot maintainer.
+
+The following files are included:
+
+README             this document
+aboot.8            man pages for aboot
+aboot.sgml         sgml-source for man page for aboot
+aboot.conf.5       man page for configuration file etc/aboot.conf
+aboot.conf.sgml    sgml-source for above man page
+abootconf.8        man page for abootconf
+abootconf.sgml     sgml-source for man page for abootconf
+e2writeboot.8      man page for e2writeboot (from aboot 7a tarball, modified)
+swriteboot.8       man page for swriteboot (from debian distribution, modified)
+isomarkboot.sgml   sgml-source for man page for isomarkboot
+isomarkboot.8      man page for isomarkboot
+sdisklabel.sgml    sgml-source for man page for sdisklabel
+sdisklabel.8       man page for sdisklabel
+
+Since I have no experience regarding e2writeboot and swriteboot I made only
+small modifications in these man pages.
+
+The list of authors was verified as best as possible (by contacting all
+person still reachable via email), if you feel this is not complete/accureate
+please contact me.
+
+Technical note:
+To create the nroff version from the SGML sources, nsgml was used like
+        nsgmls abootconf.sgml | sgmlspl sgmlspl-specs/docbook2man-spec.pl
