 Building GNU Boot binaries
 ==========================
 
-GNU Boot includes a file called `Makefile` that you can use . This
-Makefile calls some scripts like download or build that are in the
-same directory, that you can also also use directly if you want.
+The GNU Boot build system has some configuration options. While the
+defaults are good for most users, the way it is implemented requires
+you to run the following command first:
+    ./autogen.sh
+
+And if you don't need to change the defaults, you can then run the
+following command:
+    ./configure
+
+If you want to look at which settings can be changed you can use the
+following command which explains various options and how to do that:
+    ./configure --help
+
+Once this is done, you can either use the `Makefile` or some shell
+scripts to build GNU Boot.
 
 The `Makefile` is much more simple to use but offers less flexibility
 (for instance there is a single command to build all images but no way
