+COMPILING HD24TOOLS
+
+Instructions for Linux (preferably Debian/Ubuntu based):
+
+Get the source code from svn on HD24tools.com
+
+sudo apt-get install fluid libfltk1.1 libfltk1.1-dev libsndfile1 libsndfile1-dev libportaudio0 libportaudio0-dev libjack0 libjack0.100.0-0 libjack0.100.0-0-dev libjack-dev libxft2 libxft-dev libxinerama libxinerama-dev

+
+For HD24tools to detect the drives (when being run as normal user),
+normal users need to have sufficient permissions to work with the
+drive device.
+
+To find out which drive device it is, run HD24connect as root,
+and select File->Recovery->Select device...
+
+This will show you the current device, which is the device
+that needs its permissions set.
+
+You can probably gain device permissions by adding your
+regular user to the proper group, making your user the
+owner of the device or by setting the device permissions
+in /etc/fstab.
