 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,

 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,

 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>.

+<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.

+<section><title>Using Destinations</title>
+<para>
+To install a package in a destination other than root, go to 
+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 
+pulldown menu at the bottom.  You will also want to check "Link to root 
+destination" so that links are properly made.  Once you have selected the 
+destination you want to install the package to, click the dialog's "Ok" button, 
+and all packages that you install will be installed to the destination you 
+selected.

+<para>
+To add a destination, go to Settings&arrow;Destinations to bring up the settings 
+dialog at the Destinations tab, and press the "New" button to add a new 
+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 
+"Ok" to save, or "x" to cancel the changes.

+You can edit a destination by going to Settings&arrow;Destinations and selecting
