-        Change to that directory, open a root shell and run the command
-        <quote>gnc-fq-update</quote> (without the quotation marks). This will
-        launch a Perl CPAN update session that will go out onto the Internet
-        and install the Finance::Quote module on your system. The

         <para>After installation is complete, you should run the <quote>gnc-fq-dump</quote>
         test program, in the same directory, distributed with <application>&app;</application> to test
         if Finance::Quote is installed and working properly.</para>
