-Icecast2 Beta 3.
+icecast 2.x - README
+---------------------------------------------------------------------
 
-This is an beta release. Not all functionality is fully implemented, though
-we believe it to be very stable for all the currently available features.
+Icecast is a streaming media server which currently supports Ogg 
+Vorbis and MP3 audio streams. It can be used to create an Internet 
+radio station or a privately running jukebox and many things in 
+between. It is very versatile in that new formats can be added 
+relatively easily and supports open standards for commuincation and 
+interaction.
+
+
+Prerequisites
+---------------------------------------------------------------------
+icecast requires the following packages :
+
+* libxml2 - http://xmlsoft.org/downloads.html
+* libxslt - http://xmlsoft.org/XSLT/downloads.html
+* curl - http://curl.haxx.se/download.html (>= version 7.10 required)
+  NOTE: icecast may be compiled without curl, however this will
+        disable all Directory server interaction (YP).
+* ogg/vorbis - http://www.vorbis.com/files (>= version 1.0 required)
+
+A Note About RPMS
