3===========================================

5rdesktop is a client for Microsoft Windows NT Terminal Server, Windows 2000

10Installation
11------------
12rdesktop uses a GNU-style build procedure. Typically all that is necessary
13to install rdesktop is the following:
14
15 % ./configure
16 % make
17 % make install
18
19The default is to install under /usr/local. This can be changed by adding
20--prefix=directory to the configure line.
21
22Note for CVS users
23------------------
24If you have downloaded a snapshot of rdesktop using CVS, you will first need to
25run ./bootstrap in order to generate the build infrastructure. This is not
26necessary for release versions of rdesktop.
27
28Invocation
29----------
30Simply run:
31
32 % rdesktop server
33
34where server is the name of the Terminal Services machine. (If you receive
35"Connection refused", this probably means that the server does not have
36Terminal Services enabled, or there is a firewall blocking access.)
37
38You can also specify a number of options on the command line. These are listed
39in the rdesktop manual page (run "man rdesktop").
40
41Smart-card support notes
42------------------------
43The smart-card support module uses PCSC-lite. You should use PCSC-lite 1.2.9 or
44later.
45
46To enable smart-card support in the rdesktop just run "./configure" with the
47"--enable-smartcard" option. Also you can enable smart-card debug with
48additional "--with-debug-smartcard" option.
