-Basic Installation
-==================
 
-To build the Osirion Project from source you will need 
-the SDL and OpenGL library and header files.
+Installation
 
-In theory, it should compile on any platform supported by SDL.
-I have succesfully compiled it on the following platforms:
-	linux-x86_64, gcc 4.1.2, SDL 1.2.11 
-	mingw-win32 (client only!)
+	To build the Osirion Project from source code you will need 
+	the SDL and OpenGL library and header files.
 
-Compile the source by executing the following commands:
+	In theory, it should compile on any platform supported by SDL,
+	but at the time of writing only linux is supported.
 
-	autoreconf -fi
-	./configure
-	make
+	I have succesfully compiled it on the following platforms:
+		linux-x86_64, gcc 4.1.2, SDL 1.2.11 
 
-To run the client program, execute:
+Obtaining the source code
 
-	src/osirion
+ 	Get the latest version of the source code from svn:
 
-To run the dedicated server, execute:
+		svn checkout svn://intranifty.no-ip.org/osirion
 
-	src/osiriond
+	This command will create a new subdirectory 'osirion'
+	and download the source code into it.
 
-The game data files should be located in the subdirectory
-data/base of the main distribution.
+Compilint the source code
 
+	Enter the new directory and compile the source code:
+		
+		cd osirion/
+		autoreconf -fi
+		./configure
+		make
+
+	At present, 'make install' is neither tested nor supported
+
+Game Data
+
+	The game data should be located in the 'data'
+	subdirectory of the main distribution.
+
+	Get the latest version of the game data from svn: 
+	Run the following command from within the main 
+	distribution directory:
+
+		svn checkout svn://intranifty.no-ip.org/osirion-data data
+
+Executing
+
+	To run the client program, execute:
+
+		src/osirion
+
+	To run the dedicated server, execute:
+
+		src/osiriond
+
+Updating
+
+	If you downloaded and compiled the game before, 
+	there is no need to re-download the entire distribution.
+
+	Update the game source code with the following commands:
+
+		cd osirion/
+		make distclean
+		svn update
+
+	Rebuild the game:
+
+		autoreconf -fi
+		./configure
+		make
+
+	Update the game data:
+
+		cd data/
+		svn update
+		cd ..
