Well, in the package itself, there are two files called "README" and
"INSTALL". On community.openvpn.net, there should be something, but
for anyone who has compiled any piece of open source software beforehand,
OpenVPN is just as basic as it gets.
- get the tar ball
- call "tar xvfz openvpn-2.3.4.tar.gz" to extract
- cd openvpn-2.3.4
- ./configure
- make
- make install

No background needed, just basic capabilities in reading instructions
and using google.
