+phpfspot install howto:
+
+* requirements
+ 
+ - apache/apache2 (in fact any webserver which supports php)
+ - php5
+   - the following extensions must be available
+     (compiled in or as shared object):
+     * gd
+     * sqlite3
+   - PEAR extensions (pear install %name%)
+     * Calendar
+     * HTML_AJAX
+ - smarty (php template engine, http://smarty.php.net)
+ - sqlite3
+  
+* installation
+
+ 1. copy the sample phpfspot-config-file to your new config file
+
+    cp phpfspot_cfg.php.dist phpfspot_cfg.php
+
+ 2. Edit phpfspot_cfg.php and edit the necessary configuration
+    parameters. This file also include explanation of each option.
+    Take care that the path to the f-spot database (photos.db)
+    and the f-spot photo base directory (usally Photos) is set
+    correctly.
+
+ 3. To pre-create all thumbnails invoke the script gen_thumbs.php
+
+    cd ${phpfspot_home}
+    ./gen_thumbs.sh
+
+    thumbnails can also be created on-the-fly by the webserver but
+    this will take away a lot of resources of your system during
+    thumb-generation.
