-Installation on ngIRCd is described in the file `INSTALL.md` in the source
-directory; please see the file `doc/QuickStart.md` in the `doc/` directory for
-some configuration examples.
+The `INSTALL.md` document describes how to _install_ and _upgrade_ ngIRCd. It
+is included in all distribution archives and available online on
+[GitHub](https://github.com/ngircd/ngircd/blob/master/INSTALL.md).
+
+Please see the file `doc/QuickStart.md` in the `doc/` directory or on
+[GitHub](https://github.com/ngircd/ngircd/blob/master/doc/QuickStart.md) for
+information about _setting up_ and _running_ ngIRCd, including some real-world
+configuration examples.
+
+More information can be found in a couple of files in the `doc/` directory
+(online on [GitHub](https://github.com/ngircd/ngircd/tree/master/doc)) and in
+the [documentation section](https://ngircd.barton.de/documentation) on the
+[homepage of ngIRCd](https://ngircd.barton.de).
+
+In addition, ngIRCd comes with two _manual pages_: `ngircd(8)` (for the daemon)
+and `ngircd.conf(5)` (for its configuration file). They have even more details
+and list all possible command line parameters and configuration options. You
+can read them with the `man` command (when they are installed locally on your
+system, e.g. `man 8 ngircd` and `man 5 ngircd.conf`) or online here:
