 ## Installation
 
 Simply clone this project or download the `master.zip` and extract it, e.g., using `wget` and `7z x master.zip`.
 
-Place your config files in the `nsupdate.d` folder. A `dist.config.sample` is provided. At least one config file needs to exist, ending with `.config.

 All .config files (one for each dns-record) will be processed by looping them.  
-Simply copy the provided dist.config.sample and adjust your config to your needs.
