 <section><title>What is a Shell</title>
 <para>
 A shell is a program that accepts input from a user, and runs commands.  Each
 "command" in the shell is actually a separate program (unless you are using a
 shell like BusyBox, which makes some of the more common commands part of its own
 program in order to save space).  Shells can actually be very powerful, and many

+
 of them allow you to write something called "shell scripts" which are just a
 sequence of commands, sometimes with some flow control statements, saved to a 
 file and run each time the script is run.  For the most part, the average user
 does not need to know about any of this, though.  If you are running Opie on the
 Familiar distribution, it is advisable to install the bash shell (ipkg install
 bash) because it offers things like tab completion, use of the backspace key,
 and a command history, as well as offering a more advanced scripting languauge
 than most other shells.

 <section><title>Running Programs</title>
 <para>
 To run a program or a command (remember, a command is just another program), you
 simply type the name of the program and hit "Return" (in Linux, program names 
 do not have a special suffix like they do in windows, in fact the "."
 character has no special meaning unless it is at the begining of a filename, in
 which case it makes the file "hidden").  When you type a program name and hit
 "Return" the shell looks in a special list of directories called your 
 "path", and if it cannot find it in any of those directories, it stops looking
 and tells you it could not find them.  If you want to run a program that is not 
 in your path, you must specify an absolute or relative path to that program.
 For instance, to run a program that is in the directory you are currently in,
 you would type <literal>./program</literal> ("./" is a special directory that

 <section><title>Moving Files</title>
 <para>
 To move files around, you need to use the "cp" (copy) and "mv" (move)
 commands.  Both of these are run the same way: <userinput>command originalfile
 newfile</userinput>.  The only difference is that cp creates a new file without
 touching the old one, while mv deletes the original file.  The two path names
 can be either absolute or relative.  If you only specify a directory for the
 destination, and no filename, it will use the filename for the original file.

 <section><title>Deleting Files</title>
 <para>
 To delete a file, run the "rm" command, and to delete a directory, run the
 "rmdir" command, each of them take the file to be removed as their only
 argument.  The rmdir command requires the directory to be empty, so if you want
 to delete a directory that is not empty, along with all its contents, run
 <userinput>rm -r dir</userinput>.

+<section id=symlink><title>Linking Files</title>
 <para>
 In Linux, you can have a special file called a "symbolic link" that acts just
 like a copy of another file, except it takes up less space.  This is convinient
 if two applications are looking for the same file in two separate places, 
 because the file can be in both places at once, without taking up any extra
 space, and any change to one is automatically applied to the other (really, 
 there is only one file, the link is just a file pointing to the original file).
 This is also useful for naming applications independant of their version number.
  For instance, you could have a link called "application" that points to
 "application1.0".  To create a link, use the following command:
 <userinput>ln -s originalfile link</userinput>.

 then press the "Apply" icon (same red box and blue dot icon) to install all

 arguments to be sent to ipkg, which you can usually ignore.  After verifying
 that all the packages to be installed are correct, press "Ok" in the upper

+<section><title>Destinations</title>
+<para>
+Software is distributed in a format called "ipkg" which contains all the 
+necessary files for the program, as well as information on where to put them.  
+However, this information is only half complete, as it tells the package manager 
+where in the "destination" to put the files, but the package manager must know 
+where this "destination" is.  The default destination is "/" (called "root") so
+if the package says to install a file in opt/QtPalmtop/ then the file will be
+installed in /opt/QtPalmtop/.  However, if ask the package manger to use a
+destination at /mnt/hda/ (this is typically where a compact flash card would be)
+then the files will be installed in /mnt/hda/opt/QtPalmtop/.
+</para>
+<para>
+The problem with installing file in a destination other than root is that the 
+software usually does not know where to fine the installed files, and Opie does 
+not know where to find the information that tells it how to display the program 
+in the Launcher.  To get around this, the package manager creates links 
+<footnote><para>See <xref linkend=symlink> for more information on symbolic 
+links in Linux</para></footnote> from where the files would be if they were 
+installed in root to where they are actually installed.  This means that no more 
+space is taken up where the files would normally be installed, but any programs
+can still find the files where they think they should be.

+Settings&arrow;Setups to open the settings dialog to the Setups tab.  From here
+you can select the destination you would like to install the package to from the

+To add a destination, go to Settings&arrow;Destinations to bring up the settings

+Destination to the list.  The new destination should be highlighted 
+automatically, and you can then change the name and the URL with the two text 
+entry fields below it.  The name is only for easy display of the destination, so 
+name it whatever makes the most sense to you.  The URL is the location that you 
+want the destination to have.  So, if you want all your software to be installed 
+under /usr/directory then you would set the URL to that.  You can then click
