+** The Config file **
+The global config file is by default at /etc/herrie.conf.
+User-specific settings can be set by creating a config file at ~/.herrie/config.
+The '-c' argument allows you to specify a different config file other than
+these defaults. Please note that config settings are overidden on a per setting
+basis. For instance, if gui.browser.defaultpath is specified in /etc/herrie.conf,
+but it is not specified in ~/.herrie/config then the setting in /etc/herrie.conf
+will be used. The other settings that are in ~/.herrie/config would still be used.
+
+
+** Chroot Mode **
+Be sure that the user you use for vfs.lockup.user is the OWNER of the folder used
+for vfs.lockup.chroot. For some reason it is not enough to have read permissions
+through a group. Also, note that other settings that use paths, such as
+gui.browser.defaultpath and playq.dumpfile will use the chrooted path. You might
+need to create a .herrie folder under your chrooted folder in order to be able to
+automatically save your playlists.
+
+Also, herrie will not work properly when using AO in chroot mode!
+ALSA is now the default sound system used because of this.
+
+Here is an example config file for using herrie in chroot mode:
+# Herrie Config file for chrooted herrie
+gui.browser.defaultpath=/
+vfs.lockup.chroot=/mnt/MEDIA/MyMusic
+vfs.lockup.user=USERNAME
+playq.dumpfile=/.herrie/autosave.pls
+
+
+** Using AO **
+If AO is chosen as the sound output an option can be specified in the
+config file.
+
+Config Examples of Using AO:
+# Useful for KDE users
+audio.output.ao.driver=arts
+
+# For sending sound output to a remote SSH session
+audio.output.ao.driver=esd
+audio.output.ao.host=env_ssh
+
+
+** For More Information... **
+Please refer to the man page for the keyboard control bindings
+and for more config options. An online version of the man page
+can be found at http://herrie.info/herrie.1
