 The intlfonts distribution contains its own installation instructions,
 in the intlfonts/README file.
 
-* elisp-manual-EMACSVERSION-MANVERSION.tar.gz
+* elisp-manual-M.N.tar.gz
+
+This distribution contains the Emacs Lisp Reference Manual which
+complements the Emacs Lisp Manual.  It is a good idea to install the
+Emacs Lisp Reference Manual after installing Emacs, to complete the
+on-line documentation of Emacs in Info.
+
+If you have installed Texinfo, you can install the Emacs Lisp
+Reference Manual this way:
 
-This is the Emacs Lisp Reference for programmers, containing an
-in-depth discussion of Emacs Lisp and Emacs internals.  The
-distribution contains the Texinfo source files for the Reference
-Manual.  The Emacs Lisp Reference Manual is quite large.  It contains
-around 900 pages in smallbook format; the info files total almost two
-megabytes.  The package contains installation instructions of its own.
+     cd elisp-manual-M.N
+     ./configure --prefix=PREFIXDIR
+     make install
+
+Otherwise, you can install it manually.  Just copy the files elisp and
+elisp-* from the elisp-manual-M.N directory to your site's info
+directory (see the description of `infodir', below), and make sure
+that file `dir' in this directory contains an entry like this:
+
+    * Elisp: (elisp).	The Emacs Lisp Reference Manual.
