+To build kexec-tools
+
+1. If ./configure deosn't exist, create it
+
+ # autoconf
+
+ If you obtain kexec-tools from a released tarball, you can ommit this
+ step. If on the other hand you obtain kexec-tools from git or some
+ other revision control system, then you will probably need to do this.
+
+2. Run ./configure [--prefix=/usr/local] [options]...
+
+ e.g.
+ # ./configure --prefix=/usr/local
+
+ For a full list of options run
+
+ # ./configure --help
+
+3. Run make
+
+ # make
+
+To install kexec-tools
+
+ After following the above instructions to build-kexec tools, run
+
+ # make install
+
