 <title>Alternative prefixes support</title>
 
 <para>
+Although Portage, at the time of writing, it's limited to work as a
+primary package manager and does not support officially a way to
+install packages on an alternate prefix (like /usr/local or something
+else), autoepatch is designed to support being installed in an
+arbitrary prefix from day one.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+To install autoepatch on a different prefix, you should just replace
+the string <emphasis>@PREFIX@</emphasis> with the prefix the package
+is installed in the file autoepatch.sh.
