+This is not an "easy" port. You have to take many things into consideration,
+what flow data to collect (disk space, etc), how and when to remove unneeded
+flow files. And you have to know, what it is all about. If you don't know
+Cisco NetFlow switching and its data export feature, then I recommend you
+to deinstall this port.
+
+Prerequisites:
+A) You need to read the installation instructions closely, see:
+ ${PREFIX}/share/doc/flowscan/INSTALL
+
+B) You need to configure your Cisco Router, to enable Netflow Switching
+ and Netflow data export.
+
+PLEASE NOTE, YOU HAVE TO KNOW EXACTLY, IF YOU REALLY WANT TO ENABLE NETFLOW
+SWITCHING ON YOUR CISCO CORE OR DISTRIBUTION ROUTERS, WHAT PERFORMANCE IMPACT
+MIGHT BE INVOLVED WHEN DOING THIS, WITH THE GOAL, NOT TO LOOSE YOUR ROUTING/
+SWITCHING PERFORMANCE. BE WARNED !!!
+
+Post-installation tasks involve:
+a) Configure cflowd properly for your needs, see above mentioned docu !
+ Example files reside in ${PREFIX}/etc, files:
+ cflowd.conf.example and cfdcollect.conf
+b) Configure flowscan, see above mentioned docu !
+ Example files reside in ${PREFIX}/var/db/flows/bin, files:
+ "foo".sample ...
+c) Customize and install crontab file, example see:
+ ${PREFIX}/share/doc/flowscan/crontab.sample
+
+d) Activate flowscan startscript by renaming it as usual, see example in:
+ ${PREFIX}/etc/rc.d/flowscan.sh.sample
