The intlfonts distribution contains its own installation instructions,
in the intlfonts/README file.
-* elisp-manual-VERSION.tar.gz
-
-This is the Emacs Lisp Reference for programmers, containing an
-in-depth discussion of Emacs Lisp and Emacs internals. The
-distribution contains the Texinfo source files for the Reference
-Manual. The Emacs Lisp Reference Manual is quite large. It contains
-around 900 pages in smallbook format; the info files total almost two
-megabytes. The package contains installation instructions of its own.
+* elisp-manual-M.N.tar.gz
+
+This distribution contains the Emacs Lisp Reference Manual which
+complements the Emacs Lisp Manual. It is a good idea to install the
+Emacs Lisp Reference Manual after installing Emacs, to complete the
+on-line documentation of Emacs in Info.
+
+If you have installed Texinfo, you can install the Emacs Lisp
+Reference Manual this way:
+
+ cd elisp-manual-M.N
+ ./configure --prefix=PREFIXDIR
+ make install
+
+Otherwise, you can install it manually. Just copy the files elisp and
+elisp-* from the elisp-manual-M.N directory to your site's info
+directory (see the description of `infodir', below), and make sure
+that file `dir' in this directory contains an entry like this:
+
+ * Elisp: (elisp). The Emacs Lisp Reference Manual.
