 # Malte's BBS
 
-# Installation
+## Installation
 
-- Copy all files to `/opt/bbs`
-- Configure xinetd:
+Although not necessary, you should copy all files to a directory.
+The default is `/opt/bbs` (following the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard).
+
+Start by downloading required 3rd party files using the Makefile:
+
+```
+make all
+```
+
+### Install the BBS itself (Telnet)
+
+- Configure *inetd* in `/etc/inetd.conf`:
 ```
 telnet	stream	tcp	nowait	nobody	/usr/sbin/tcpd	/usr/sbin/telnetd --no-hostinfo --exec-login=/opt/bbs/minishell
 ```
 
+### Quote of the Day
+
+Add the following line to `/etc/inetd.conf`:
+
+```
+qotd  stream  tcp  nowait  nobody  /opt/bbs/qotd
+```
+
+### mFingerd
+
+mFingerd is started using it's own systemd unit file, and not by inetd.
+You can install the `.service` unit using *make*:
+
+```
+make install_systemd
+```
+
+> Currently you need to manually change the install location in
+> `mfingerd.service` if it differs from `/opt/bbs` (option
+> `WorkingDirectory in the section `[Service]`)
+
+## Files
