 ### TO NEW PEOPLE:
 * please read the documentation in /usr/share/uzbl/docs
 * invoke uzbl --help
-* to get you started: uzbl --uri 'http://www.archlinux.org' --config /usr/share/uzbl/examples/configs/sampleconfig
+* to get you started: `XDG_DATA_HOME=/usr/share/uzbl/examples/data XDG_CONFIG_HOME=/usr/share/uzbl/examples/config uzbl --uri www.archlinux.org`
 * study the sample config, have a look at all the bindings, and note how you can call the scripts to load new url from history and the bookmarks file
 * note that there is no url bar. all url editing is supposed to happen _outside_ of uzbl.
   For now, you can use the `load_from_*` dmenu based scripts to pick a url or type a new one or write commands into the fifo (see /usr/share/uzbl/docs/CHECKLIST)

 ### I just installed uzbl but it doesn't do much.  What now?
 Uzbl includes very limited default settings (statusbar settings, but no keybinds, history/download handlers etc.)
 Look at /usr/share/uzbl/docs/config.h to see the default settings.
-Neither does uzbl create a default config file on startup like some other programs do.
-Because we want to give you the freedom to place your config where you want, and to use a config or not.
-Have a look in /usr/share/uzbl/examples/configs to see what you can do. You will probably want to create your own config based on an example config
-so you can add keybinds and to use scripts.
-Use the --config parameter or save your config as $XDG\_CONFIG\_HOME/uzbl/config to have it auto-loaded.

+If you save a config as $XDG\_CONFIG\_HOME/uzbl/config it will be loaded automatically.
+Running with the `--verbose` flag on a command line can also be interesting.
+To get you started, try this:
+`XDG_DATA_HOME=/usr/share/uzbl/examples/data XDG_CONFIG_HOME=/usr/share/uzbl/examples/config uzbl`
+It will temporarily override your $XDG\_CONFIG\_HOME and $XDG\_DATA\_HOME
+variables so you can try the sample stuff directly in /usr/share/uzbl/examples.
+If you like what you can do, you can copy the sample stuff into your ~ and edit to your liking.
 
 ### Where is the location bar? How do I change the URL ?
 Uzbl has no location bar.  All changes to the uri (editing of current uri, typing new uri, loading of uri from bookmarks/history/...) happens *outside* of uzbl.
