 Running the daemon
 ------------------
 
-Everyone seems to use a different init system these days. I only
-provide an rc.marsond script for Slackware's SysV init. Basically, you
-want to start up the daemon at boot, using whatever facility your OS
-provides (systemd, s6, openrc, etc). It must be started as root, and
-it will drop privileges after initialization and run as the 'nobody'
-user by default. See the man page for other options you might want
-to use.
+After "make install", it will run via udev when the device is plugged
+in. See /etc/udev/rules.s/99-marsond.rules to change the options,
+if needed. If it doesn't start automatically, check the vendor and
+product IDs in dmesg against the ones in the .rules file. If you have
+a different vendor/product ID that has the Enter key problem, please
+contact me so I can add them to the udev rule.
+
+When the device is unplugged, the daemon will exit.
+
+For testing purposes, you can start it manually. Usually when you do
+this, you'll want the -v and -f options (verbose, foreground).
