 Installing Quixote
 ==================
 
-Best-case scenario
-------------------
+Quixote requires Python 2.3 or later.
 
-If you are using Python 2.2 or later, and have never installed Quixote
-with your current version of Python, you're in luck.  Just run
+If you have a previously installed quixote, we strongly recommend that
+you remove it before installing a new one.
+First, find out where your old Quixote installation is:
 
-  python setup.py install
-
-and you're done.  Proceed to the demo documentation to learn how to get
-Quixote working.
-
-If you're using an older Python, or if you're upgrading from an older
-Quixote version, read on.

-
-Upgrading from an older Quixote version
----------------------------------------
-
-We strongly recommend that you remove any old Quixote version before
-installing a new one.  First, find out where your old Quixote
-installation is:
-
   python -c "import os, quixote; print os.path.dirname(quixote.__file__)"
 
 and then remove away the reported directory.  (If the import fails, then
 you don't have an existing Quixote installation.)
 
-Then proceed as above:
+Now install the new version by running (in the distribution directory),
 
   python setup.py install
 
+and you're done.  
 
-Using Quixote with Python 2.0 or 2.1
-------------------------------------
+Quick start
+===========
 
-If you are using Python 2.0 or 2.1 then you need to install the
-``compiler`` package from the Python source distribution.  The
-``compiler`` package is for parsing Python source code and generating
-Python bytecode, and the PTL compiler is built on top of it.  With
-Python 2.0 and 2.1, this package was included in Python's source
-distribution, but not installed as part of the standard library.
+In a terminal window, run server/simple_server.py.
+In a browser, open http://localhost:8080
 
-Assuming your Python source distribution is in ``/tmp/Python-2.1.2``::
 
-    cd /tmp/Python-2.1.2/Tools/compiler
-    python setup.py install
+Upgrading a Quixote 1 application to Quixote 2.
+===============================================
 
-(Obviously, you'll have to adjust this to reflect your Python version
-and where you kept the source distribution after installing Python.)
+See upgrading.txt for details.
