+usage notes
+-----------
+Upon boot you will be greated with:
+
+MBR FA:
+
+Then just press the "a" key and the prompt will change to:
+
+MBR 1234F
+
+Then press the "1" key and the system should boot into the text-based installer.
+
+
+The installation is automatic, the root password will be set to "fai". You just
+have to confirm partitioning and choose a hostname from the following list:
+
+h01ger's: 	patty
+DaCa's:		daffy
+Q_'s		selma
+
+That should be all ;)
