+<chapter><title>Installation</title>
+<section><title>iPAQ</title>
+<para>
+To install opie on an iPAQ, you will need a fresh Familiar installation (ie,
+install Familiar, and stop before you do ipkg install task-complete or ipkg
+install task-x), go to http://familiar.handhelds.org to get the latest version,
+and to get installation instructions (again, stop after the initial boot and do
+not install X, as it is not necessary, and will only take up space).
+</para>
+
+<note>
+<para>
+If you had qpe/qtopia installed previously,
+<emphasis>completely</emphasis> remove it, and remove the src line for it from
+your /etc/ipkg.conf file before attempting to install opie.
+</para>
+</note>
+<para>
+Once you have Familiar installed, set up a network connection between your iPAQ
+and the ouside world (again, see the Familiar site for instructions on this),
+and then run this command:
+<informalexample>
+<literallayout>
+ echo src opie "http://131.152.105.154/feeds/ipaq/unstable/" \
+ >> /etc/ipkg.conf
+</literallayout>
+</informalexample>
+then, run:
+<informalexample>
+<literallayout>
+ ipkg update && ipkg install task-opie
+</literallayout>
+</informalexample>
+If you have a 3100 or 3800 series iPAQ, run:
+<informalexample>
+<literallayout>
+ ipkg install qt-embedded-rotation
+</literallayout>
+</informalexample>
+finally, start Opie with:
+<informalexample>
+<literallayout>
+ /etc/init.d/opie start
+</literallayout>
+</informalexample>
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Opie should now be running (if you should have to reboot, which is rare, Opie
+will start automatically). From here, you can use either the "Software"
+application in the Settings tab, or run ipkg from the command line to install
+other Opie apps. Check out the various task-opie-* ipkgs to install various sets
+of apps at once (you can always uninstall individual apps individually). You
+will probably want to install opie-embeddedkonsole first, so you have access to
+the command line in Opie.
+</para>

+
+<section><title>Zaurus</title>
+<para>
+To completely install Opie on the Zaurus, you will have to install OpenZaurus,
+which includes Opie. However, individual Opie applications will work fine on the
+default Zaurus rom. Do not install Opie's launcher on a default Zaurus ROM
+though.
