+# IPFire Presentation Template
+
+This is a template for presentations about IPFire built with LaTeX Beamer.
+
+## Requirements
+
+| Tool | Purpose | Package (Debian/Ubuntu) |
+|------|---------|------------------------|
+| `xelatex` | PDF renderer | `texlive-xetex` |
+| `autoconf` ≥ 2.69 | Build system bootstrap | `autoconf` |
+| `automake` | Makefile generation | `automake` |
+| `bibtex` | Bibliography (optional) | `texlive-bibtex-extra` |
+
+## Quickstart
+
+### 1. Bootstrap the build system
+
+Run this once after cloning (generates `configure` and `Makefile.in`):
+
+```sh
+./autogen.sh
+```
+
+### 2. Configure
+
+```sh
+./configure
+```
+
+### 3. Build
+
+```sh
+make
+```
+
+The PDF is written to `build/presentation.pdf`.
+
+## Make Targets
+
+| Target | Description |
+|--------|-------------|
+| `make` | Build the presentation PDF |
+| `make clean` | Remove LaTeX auxiliary files |
+| `make distclean` | Remove auxiliary files **and** the PDF |
+| `make dist` | Create a tarball of the LaTeX sources |
+
+## Adding Slides
+
+1. Create a new file under `src/slides/`, e.g. `src/slides/04-demo.tex`.
+2. Add `\input{slides/04-demo}` to `src/presentation.tex`.
+3. Run `make`.
+
+## Section Divider Slides
+
+Use the `\sectionframe` command for full-screen section breaks:
+
+```latex
+% Title only
+\sectionframe{My Section Title}
+
+% Title + subtitle
+\sectionframe[Optional subtitle]{My Section Title}
+```
