-   your system path, such as ``/usr/local/bin`` (Unix) or ``C:\Python24\Scripts``

-   any directory, rather than having to qualify the command with the full path

+   file ``django-trunk/django/bin/django-admin.py`` in a directory on your
+   system path, such as ``/usr/local/bin``.  For example::
 
+       ln -s `pwd`/django-trunk/django/bin/django-admin.py /usr/local/bin
+
+   This simply lets you type ``django-admin.py`` from within any directory,
+   rather than having to qualify the command with the full path to the file.
+
+   On Windows systems, the same result can be achieved by copying the file
+   ``django-trunk/django/bin/django-admin.py`` to somewhere on your system
+   path, for example ``C:\Python24\Scripts``.

 You *don't* have to run ``python setup.py install``, because you've already
 carried out the equivalent actions in steps 3 and 4.
