<title>Installation</title>
+ <para>
+ &appname; is a quite complex piece of software, we thus recommend
+ you to either install al precompiled version or use the LiveCD.
+ If you are running Debian GNU/Linux (or one of its derivatives
+ like Ubuntu), you can install matita typing
+ <programlisting><![CDATA[ aptitude install matita matita-standard-library ]]></programlisting>
+ If you are running MacOSX or Windows, give the LiveCD a try before
+ trying to compile &appname; from its sources.

+ Click on the New button, a wizard will popup, you should ask to

+ The boot hard disk should be no hard disk. It may complain
+ that this choice is not common, but it is right, since you
+ will run a LiveCD you do not need to emulate an hard drive.

+ Now that you are done with the creation of the virtual machine,

+ <title>Sharing files with the real PC</title>
+ <para>
+ The virtual machine &appname; will run on, has its own file
+ system, that is completely separated from the one of your
+ real PC (thus your files are not available in the
+ emulated environment) and moreover it is a non-presistent
+ file system (thus you data is lost every time you
+ turn off the virtual machine).
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Virtualbox allows you to share a real folder (beloging
+ to your real PC) with the emulated computer. Since this
+ folder is persistent, you are encouraged to put
+ your work there, so that it is not lost when the virtual
+ machine is powered off.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ The first step to set up a shared folder is to click
+ on the shared folder configuration entry
+ of the virtual machine.
