-Creating a working place
-========================
-
-In the sandbox we now create our real working
-environment. To do this, we change to the sandbox and checkout the
-sources of Kofa from the subversion server::
-
-  (py27)$ cd mysandbox/
-  (py27)$ svn co https://svn.waeup.org/repos/main/waeup.kofa/trunk kofa-trunk
-
-where ``kofa-trunk`` is only a name we've chosen here to make clear
-where the sources come from. In this case we are installing the Kofa base
-package.
+Get the Sources, Luke
+=====================
+
+Now, as the sandbox is activated (see above, if not), we can fetch the
+sources for Kofa.
+
+As Kofa is currently available from the Subversion_ repository only,
+we use the Subversion_ client `svn` and checkout the main devel branch
+of the `waeup.kofa` package like this::
+
+  (py27)$ svn co https://svn.waeup.org/repos/main/waeup.kofa/trunk
 
 The command should fetch the Kofa base package sources for you and
-put it in the directory ``kofa-trunk/``.
+will put everything in a new directory ``trunk/``.
 
 Now enter the new directory::
 
-  (py27)$ cd kofa-trunk
-
+  (py27)$ cd trunk/
+
+and you can start building the real package.
+
+.. note:: If you not want to work with the `waeup.kofa` package but a
+          customized package (like ``waeup.aaue`` or similar), then
+          you can use the above checkout command but with
+          ``waeup.kofa`` replaced by the name of the customized
+          package::
+
+            (py27)$ svn co https://svn.waeup.org/repos/main/<PKG-NAME>/trunk
+
+          For the exact link, please refer to the README.txt file in
+          your package.

+Part 1: Single Client Setup
+***************************
 
 You can run ``Kofa`` with a single client (useful for evaluation,
 development, etc.) or with multiple clients running in parallel. The
 latter setup is useful in productive environments with many thousands
-users. We will cover both setup types one after another.
