+Installation Notes:
+===================
+FileBrowser is typically preinstalled on ROM. If not, it can be added to the
+ROM with the .iby file. Alternatively, the .sis file can be found under the sis-
+directory, but the user need to sign it with their own developer certificate.
+In Nokia R&D environment, you can use directly the R&D-signed .sis file under the
+internal\sis directory.
+
+FileBrowser is provided as full and lite version. Lite version is aimed for
+those who cannot sign with TCB capability. Lite version can be generated by
+defining FILEBROWSER_LITE flag and then by recompiling the application and
+regenerating the sis file.
+
+When signing with own developer certificate, the following capabilities are
+needed in the lite version:
+  ReadDeviceData
+  WriteDeviceData
+  DiskAdmin
+  AllFiles
+  SwEvent
+  NetworkServices
+  LocalServices
+  ReadUserData
+  WriteUserData
+  Location
+  UserEnvironment
+  
+The full version requires these addtional capabilities:
+  CommDD
+  PowerMgmt
+  MultimediaDD
+  DRM
+  TrustedUI
+  ProtServ
+  NetworkControl
+  SurroundingsDD
+  TCB
+
+When builing FileBrowser against S60 3.0 or 3.1, you may need to patch your SDK
+environment first with some fixes. For more information, please refer to the
+instructions under the "envpatcher" directory.
