+<p><strong>Congratulations!</strong> Welcome in your fresh Girocco instance.
+Edit gitweb/indextext.html in the source tree and re-run make install to
+modify this text. (Never modify anything in the final destination directories,
+it will get overwritten!) You can tweak gitweb/gitweb_config.perl to define
+whether to show project list on the front page, or e.g. to turn content tags off.
+You may want to have a look at the rorcz branch of
+<a href="http://repo.or.cz/w/girocco.git">girocco.git</a> to see how this hosting
+site (repo.or.cz) is configured.
+Enjoy setting up your Girocco! <a href="/h/about.html">(read more, terms&conditions)</a></p>
+
+<p>Have you told <a href="mailto:
[email protected]">Petr Baudis</a>
+about your Girocco usage? Of course you don't have to, but then you may
+find out that upgrading to newer Girocco version in the future is not as
+smooth as you would like...</p>
+
+<p>If your cgidir is not in site root, you will have to adjust the three
+links below manually:</p>
