+ INSTALLATION-FAQ
+==================
+
+Q: Can I improve Amarok's startup time?
+A: Prelinking Amarok has spectacular results; however if you have binary openGL
+   drivers (eg Nvidia drivers), you will need to compile Amarok --without-opengl
+   in order to get the amarokapp binary to prelink (the amarok binary is not
+   important here).
+
+
+ INFORMATION FOR PACKAGERS
+===========================
+
+For Amarok packages we suggest you build:
+
+                % ./configure --disable-debug
+
+It is possible to build Amarok to use MySQL as the database backend. Using
+MySQL makes the Amarok collection faster.
+
+We suggest compiling Os, there is no particular part of Amarok that would
+benefit from optimisation, so the smallest binary is probably the best route.
+
+In order to limit the dependencies the Amarok package demands we suggest
+splitting Amarok into the following packages:
+
+   1. Amarok + one backend
+   2. xine-engine
+   3. Helix-engine
+   4. amarok_libvisual
+   5. ipod media device
+   6. ifp media device
+   7. njb media device
+   8. mtp media device
+   9. rio karma media device
+
+Amarok is modular and will be fully functional as long as one of 2 or 3 is
+also installed. Hence we suggest Amarok + one backend. Feel free to include the
+helix, MAS and NMM engines if you can satisfy their dependencies.
+
+Amarok ships with two binaries: amarok and amarokapp. The amarok binary is a
+wrapper designed to speed up command line argument passing. amarokapp is the
+real Amarok.
+
+If you make packages for Amarok please let us know and we'll link to you on the
+homepage (as long as you don't object).
