+== How to fill the vendors entry ==
+
+After the installation you have to fill the MySQL table containing the vendors. To carry out this task you need to download the proper scripts using the following command:
+
+ svn co svn://svn.savannah.nongnu.org/h-source/trunk/scripts/vendorid
+
+Move into the just downloaded vendorid folder. Open the file connect.php and modify the following variables:
+
+ $host = 'name of the mysql server (the same used for h-source)';
+ $user = 'database user (the same used for h-source)';
+ $password = 'database pasword (the same used for h-source)';
+ $dbName = 'database name (the same used for h-source)';
+
+Be sure you have installed php5-cli, then write the following command:
+
+ php5 insert_vendors.php
+
+It will fill the vendors MySql table. It will take a bit.
