        <title>Installation</title>


	<para>
	Nautilus will be the default file manager for 
	GNOME 1.4. So for users of that version of 
	GNOME, no special Nautilus installation will be 
	necessary.
	</para>

	<para>
	For other users, Nautilus can be downloaded from 
	the Eazel Nautilus website. Instructions for this 
	follow the system requirements section, below.
	</para>

	<title>Download and Install Instructions</title>

	<para>First, make sure you have enough hard disk space, 
	and are running the correct version of Linux, and 
	of GNOME.
	</para>

	<para>
	The Eazel site for downloading Nautilus is 
	<ulink url="http://www.nautilus.eazel.com/">www.nautilus.eazel.com</ulink>.
	</para>

	<para>
	When the installation is finished, start Nautilus by 
	opening the GNOME main menu, opening the 
	Applications sub-menu, and clicking on the 
	Nautilus icon.
	</para>
	</sect1>

	<sect1>
	<title>Initial Screens</title>

	<para>
	When you start Nautilus for the first time, there 
	are several initial screens. The first is simply a 
	welcome screen. The second, however, lets you 
	select your initial user level (Figure 1)
	</para>

	<title>Selecting an Initial User Level</title>
	<graphic fileref="install-user-level.png" scale="50"></graphic>
	</figure>

	<para>
	The different user levels primarily control the 
	amount of system and file detail that Nautilus 
	displays. Check the level you feel is right for you, 
	and click on the Next button.
	</para>

	<para>
	The following screen gives you an opportunity to 
	learn about Eazel Services, to sign up for them 
	immediately, to login to Services if you are 
	already a member, or to skip exploring Services at 
	this time.
	</para>

	<para>
	Nautilus and Eazel Services are covered in 
	Chapter Three of this manual.
	</para>

	<figure>
	<title>The Nautilus Update Screen</title>
	<graphic fileref="" scale="50"></graphic>
	</figure>

	<para>
	The next screen (Figure 2), offers to automatically 
	contact Eazel Services to verify your 
	Internet connection and download the latest 
	Nautilus updates. Check the appropriate box and 
	click the Next button. The update procedure is 
	automatic.
	</para>

	<para>
	At the final screen click the Finish button to 
	complete the install. After a moment or two the 
	Nautilus file manager will start.
	</para>
