 OpenRC uses the  [meson](http://mesonbuild.com) build system, so use the
 usual methods for this build system to build and install.
 
-The old build system is still available for the 0.44.x branch, but it is
-considered deprecated and will be removed. The previous documentation is
-below.
-
-## Installation (historical)
-
-OpenRC requires GNU make.
-
-Once you have GNU Make installed, the default OpenRC installation can be
-executed using this command:
-
-`make install`
-
-## Configuration (historical)
-
-You may wish to configure the installation by passing one or more of the
-below arguments to the make command
-
-```
-PROGLDFLAGS=-static
-LIBNAME=lib64
-DESTDIR=/tmp/openrc-image
-MKBASHCOMP=no
-MKNET=no
-MKPAM=pam
-MKCAP=yes
-MKPREFIX=yes
-MKPKGCONFIG=no
-MKSELINUX=yes
-MKSTATICLIBS=no
-MKSYSVINIT=yes
-MKTERMCAP=ncurses
-MKTERMCAP=termcap
-MKZSHCOMP=no
-PKG_PREFIX=/usr/pkg
-LOCAL_PREFIX=/usr/local
-PREFIX=/usr/local
-BRANDING=\"Gentoo/$(uname -s)\"
-SH=/bin/sh
-```

 ## Notes
 
 We don't support building a static OpenRC with PAM.
 
-You may need to use `PROGLDFLAGS=-Wl,-Bstatic` on glibc instead of just `-static`
-(This is now handled by the meson build system).
-
-If you are building OpenRC for a Gentoo Prefix installation, add `MKPREFIX=yes`
-(this is not supported in the meson build currently, but patches are welcome).
-
 `PKG_PREFIX` should be set to where packages install to by default.
 
 `LOCAL_PREFIX` should be set to where user maintained packages are.
 Only set `LOCAL_PREFIX` if different from `PKG_PREFIX`.
 
-`PREFIX` should be set when OpenRC is not installed to /.
-
-If any of the following files exist then we do not overwrite them
-
-```
-/etc/devd.conf
-/etc/rc
-/etc/rc.shutdown
-/etc/conf.d/*
-```
+`ROOTPREFIX` should be set when the root path is different from '/'.
 
 `rc` and `rc.shutdown` are the hooks from the BSD init into OpenRC.
