+Caching
+=======
+When going back in the menu strucutre with the left arrow button,
+Noxon iRadios display a cached version of the menu.
+
+If you do not want this - because a script modified values that are
+displayed in the parent menu, or because the script that displays
+the time should always be run - you may disable caching.
+
+Caching is disabled when a file named ``nocache`` is found in the directory.

 Setup
 =====
 
+Basic setup
+===========
+#. You need a web server (Apache) with PHP.

+
+#. Clone the Git repository of this noxon-gateway software::
+
+     $ git clone https://git.cweiske.de/noxon-gateway.git
+
+#. Configure your network's DNS server/router, see the "Hosts" section.
+
+#. Point your web server's (virtual host) document root to the ``www``
+   directory.
+
+   Let your web server handle the domain names.
+
+#. Open http://gatekeeper.my-noxon.net/ in your browser.
+   You should see the noxon gateway software.
+
+   If your browser supports XSLT, you will not see XML, but clickable HTML
+   links.
