    15 <para>As the instructions for compiling and installing <acronym>KDE</acronym> were developed,
    16 the options to <command>configure</command> were examined and the parameters
    17 presented are the most likely to compile correctly. In each of the packages,
    18 one other option to <command>configure</command> can be added:
    19 <parameter>--enable-final</parameter>. This option can speed up the build
    20 process, but requires a lot of memory. If you have less than 256MB of RAM,
    21 this option may cause swapping and significantly slow compilation.</para>

     20<para>There are two alternatives for installing <acronym>KDE</acronym>. Option one, that
     21is used by most of the commercial distributions, is to
     22install <acronym>KDE</acronym> in the standard system prefix: <filename>/usr</filename>.
     23This option allows the use of KDE without the need for any additional configuration such
     24as modification of various environment variables or configuration files. Option two is
     25to install it in a unique prefix such as <filename>/opt/kde</filename> or
     26<filename>/opt/kde-&kde-version;</filename>. This option allows for easy removal of
     27the package.</para>
