 ===========
 
-All you have to do is:
+You don't have to install it if you don't want to. You can just change current
+directory to pyGTKtalog and simply run:
+
+./pyGTKtalog
+
+That's it. Alternatively, if you like to put it in more system wide place, all
+you have to do is:
 
 - put pyGTKtalog directory into your destination of choice (/usr/local/share,
   /opt or ~/ is typical choice)
-- modify pyGTKtalog/pyGTKtalog line 4 to match right directory
-- copy/link pyGTKtalog/pyGTKtalog shell script to /usr/bin, /usr/local/bin or in
+- copy pyGTKtalog shell script to /usr/bin, /usr/local/bin or in
   other place, where PATH variable is pointing or you feel like.
+- then modify pyGTKtalog line 6 to match right pygtktalog.py directory
 
 Then, just run pyGTKtalog script.
