 <title>Where to get pkgsrc and how to keep it up-to-date</title>
 
-	<para>The most common location where pkgsrc is installed is
-	<filename>/usr/pkgsrc</filename> for the <quote>package
-	sources</quote> and <filename>/usr/pkg</filename> for the
-	installed binary packages. You are though free to install the
-	sources and binary packages wherever you want in your
-	filesystem, provided that both paths do not contain white-space
-	or other characters that are interpreted specially by the shell
-	and some other programs. A safe bet is to use only letters,
-	digits, underscores and dashes in the names.</para>
