Hi

When trying to install chrony from source, I found out that the README
refered to INSTALL which does not exist. Also asciidoctor is needed
during install. here is a patch to fix the docs.

Not at all sure where you are getting your source for chrony. Version 1.31.2 certainly has an INSTALL file. And I have no idea what
"asciidoctor" is and I certainly do not need it.

And in chrony 2.4 INSTALL is also there. It does seem that asciidoctor  is used,
according to the Makefile. Sorry for the misinformation.


Which version of chrony are you refering to? And is this the source from some
distribution?
