+    <para>
+      Several <application>KDE Frameworks 5</application> packages install
+      files into <application>D-Bus</application> directories. When installing
+      <application>KDE Frameworks 5</application> in a location other than
+      <filename class="directory">/usr</filename>,
+      <application>D-Bus</application> needs to be able to find these files.
+      The easiest way to achieve this is to create the following symlinks (as
+      the <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user):
+    </para>
+
+<screen role="root"><userinput>install -v -dm755           $KF5_PREFIX/{etc,share} &amp;&amp;
+ln -sfv /etc/dbus-1         $KF5_PREFIX/etc         &amp;&amp;
+ln -sfv /usr/share/dbus-1   $KF5_PREFIX/share</userinput></screen>
+
+    <para>
+      Some packages may also install icons from the "hicolor" icon set. Since that
+      icon set is used by many packages, it is a good idea to create a
+      symlink to the one in <filename class="directory">/usr/share</filename>
+      to avoid having multiple installations of <xref linkend="hicolor-icon-theme"/>.
+      Run the following commands as the <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem>
+      user:
+    </para>
+
+<screen role="root"><userinput>install -v -dm755                $KF5_PREFIX/share/icons &amp;&amp;
+ln -sfv /usr/share/icons/hicolor $KF5_PREFIX/share/icons</userinput></screen>
+
+    <tip>
+      <para>
+        Sometimes, the installation paths are hardcoded into installed files.
+        This is the reason why <filename class="directory">/opt/kf5</filename>
+        is used as installation prefix instead of <filename
+        class="directory">/opt/kf5-&kf5-version;</filename>. After installing
+        <application>KDE Frameworks</application>, you may rename the directory
+        and create a symlink:
+      </para>
+
+<screen role="root"><userinput>mv /opt/kf5{,-&kf5-version;}
+ln -sfv kf5-&kf5-version; /opt/kf5</userinput></screen>
+
+      <para>
+        Later on, you may want to install other versions of
+        <application>KDE Frameworks 5</application>. To do that, just remove
+        the symlink and use <filename class="directory">/opt/kf5</filename>
+        as the prefix again. Which version of
+        <application>KDE Frameworks 5</application> you use depends only on
+        where the symlink points. No other reconfiguration will be needed.
+      </para>
