+Quick Start
+===========
+
+This is a svery small set of instructions for the users that just want
+to install a package, and don't care about things like which package manager
+g-octave will use or where g-octave will store your files.
+
+
+Installing g-Octave
+-------------------
+
+With layman installed, install the science overlay::
+    
+    # layman -a science
+
+Install g-octave::
+
+    # emerge -av g-octave
+
+Install g-octave's package database::
+
+    # emerge --config g-octave
+
+
+Installing the package
+----------------------
+
+If you don't care about configurations, the default values are good enough
+for you, then just type::
+    
+    # g-octave -av packagename
+
+
+Just a line!
+------------
+
+If you're really lazy, you can just type::
+
+    # layman -a science && emerge g-octave && emerge --config g-octave && g-octave packagename
+
+If all is ok, your package should be installed now!
