+<answer><para>Just install &Qt;, kdelibs and kdebase, and from your favorite
+window manager, launch &konqueror;. It should work just fine, but if it
+doesn't (&kde; developers don't test that case often), report it to <ulink
+url="http://bugs.kde.org">http://bugs.kde.org</ulink> and try running
+<application>kdeinit</application> before running &konqueror;; it usually
+helps.</para></answer>

+<question><para>How do I set my <quote>home</quote> page - the page loaded

+<answer><para>Start &konqueror; with the <guiicon>Web Browser</guiicon> icon
+on the panel. Open the page you want to be loaded in any new <quote>Web
+Browser</quote> window and select <guimenuitem>Save View Profile "Web
+Browsing"</guimenuitem> from the <guimenu>Settings</guimenu> menu.</para>
+
+<para>All new &konqueror; windows that are started with the <guiicon>Web
+Browser</guiicon> icon on the panel, or from the <guimenu>location</guimenu>
+menu, and new empty tabs, will now start at this page.</para>
+
+<note><para>This does not change the behavior of the
+<guiicon>Home</guiicon> button on the &konqueror; toolbar, which will
+continue to take you to the &URI; defined in the &konqueror; configuration
+module. You can reach that module from within &konqueror;, via
+<menuchoice><guimenu>Settings</guimenu><guimenuitem>Configure
+Konqueror</guimenuitem><guilabel>Behavior</guilabel></menuchoice>. By
+default this is set to <userinput>~</userinput>, which is your Home folder.
+You may set this to any &URI;, either local or remote, and pressing the
+<guiicon>Home</guiicon> icon on the toolbar will display it.</para></note>
+
+<para>To have &konqueror; start up with no page loaded, use
+<userinput>about:blank</userinput>.</para>
