-You may have noticed an install.sh script in the source package. This
-script is intended for distribution with my own binary packages of rEFInd,
-and it copies files from the "refind" subdirectory (relative to the
-script's location) -- namely refind_x64.efi or refind_ia32.efi,
-refind.conf-sample, and an icons subdirectory. You can rearrange your files
-to provide this layout, but it's no more work to copy the files as just
-described.

+Note to Distribution Maintainers
+================================
+
+The install.sh script, and therefore the "install" target in the Makefile,
+installs the program directly to the ESP and it modifies the *CURRENT
+COMPUTER's* NVRAM. Thus, you should *NOT* use this target as part of the
+build process for your binary packages (RPMs, Debian packages, etc.).
+(Gentoo could use it in an ebuild, though....) You COULD, however, copy the
+files to a directory somewhere (/usr/share/refind or whatever) and then
+call install.sh as part of the binary package installation process.
