    icecast 2.x - README
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------

    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.

    Icecast is distributed under the GNU GPL, version 2. A copy of this
    license is included with this software in the COPYING file.

    Prerequisites
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------
    icecast requires the following packages :

    * 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).

    A Note About RPMS

    This section only applies to you if your operating system uses RPMS.

    In order to build icecast, you will need to install the "devel" RPM
    packages for each of the prerequisite packages in addition to the
    normal RPMS for each package.

    please check the websites for each of the prerequisite packages for
    appropriate download links for RPMS.
