+This program is a DHCP server, web server and HTTP proxy all rolled into one. The goal of this program is help install an OS on a bare-metal switch, using only a windows, linux or OSX laptop/PC.  
 
 
 Instructions
 ------------
-- Download the OS you would like to install and save it as onie-installer.
-  The onie-installer image must go in the same directory as the onie-server.py file.
-- Start the ONIE server program via "python onie-server.py"
-  If you are on a Mac or Linux use sudo:
-  sudo python onie-server.py
+- Download the OS you would like to install and save it as onie-installer.   The onie-installer image must go in the same directory as the onie-server.py file.
+- Start the ONIE server program via "python onie-server.py".   If you are on a Mac or Linux use sudo "sudo python onie-server.py"
 - Answer a few questions to start the DHCP, HTTP and proxy servers
 - ONIE should request a DHCP address and then begin downloading the onie-installer image via the web server
 
 
+HTTP Proxy Server
+-----------------
+Some operating systems support downloading updates or new packages via HTTP.  onie-server.py launches a HTTP proxy server so point your switch towards that proxy in order to download updates or new packages to your switch. The proxy server listens on the IP address of your laptop (the interface connected to your bare-metal switch) on port 8080.
 
-Updating/Adding Packages
-------------------------
-This is optional but if you like you can use apt to update or add packages
-to your switch.  apt downloads data via HTTP so we need to point apt at the
-HTTP proxy server that you just started.  The proxy server listens on
-the IP address of your laptop (the interface connected to your bare-metal switch)
-on port 8080.
