+To start PC/SC-lite daemon, run "/etc/rc.d/rc.pcscd start". This is most
+easily accomplished by adding the following to /etc/rc.d/rc.local:
+ if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.pcscd ]; then
+ /etc/rc.d/rc.pcscd start
+ fi
+For pcmcia readers, this daemon should be started after rc.pcmcia.
+
+Beware!
+- PC/SL-lite daemon is meant as _alternative_ to openct: running rc.openctd
+and rc.pcscd at the same time can and will lead to unforseeable problems
+(specially with usb devices that can be managed by both of them, one daemon
+can claim one device, making it unavailable for other daemon).
+
+Smartcard reader's drivers are not included and must be compiled and installed
+separately. See DRIVERS file in pcsc-lite's doc directory for more information
+on getting and installing specific drivers. pcsc-lite is compiled with the
+--enable-usbdropdir=<libdir>/pcsc/drivers flag -- this directory will be the
+destination for usb readers' drivers (e.g. ccid, cardman, ...).
+
+Since version 1.6.0, serial support is not really maintained. Upstream
+developer deems serial readers as rare, so he no longer provides reader.conf
+file: if it's still required, you will have to manually create it in
+/etc/reader.conf.d (please see 'man 5 reader.conf' for details).
+
+Since version 1.6.0, events are sent through the socket, so you have to
+manually remove unused /var/run/pcscd/pcscd.events/ directory.
