+By selecting the <guimenu>Startup Wizard...</guimenu> submenu, the <quote>Setup Wizard</quote> window will pop up. 
+It is the same window that you saw when you ran &kstars; for the very first time. &kstars; Setup Wizard will help 
+you set up some basic options, such as your location on Earth. The first page of Setup Wizard is a welcome page 
+and if you press <guibutton>Next</guibutton> button, you will get the <quote>Choose Your Home Location</quote> page. 
+Here you can select your exact home location or a city near your home location if your accurate location
+is not present in &kstars; cities database. Browsing the entire list is not so efficient and thus, &kstars; 
+provides you a easy-to-use method for selecting your desired city in a short time. You may filter the 
+list of cities by the name of your city, province and country. By giving more details about your location, the
+list's size will reduced only to its best matches. When you highlight a city in the cities list, the 
+<guilabel>Longitude</guilabel> and <guilabel>Latitude</guilabel> boxes will be updated, contaning the accurate
+information of your selected location. When you hit the <guibutton>Next</guibutton> button, you will get the last
+page of &kstars; Setup Wizard: <quote>Download Extra Data Files</quote> page. Here you may download optional data 
+files via the Internet, in order to enhance &kstars;, such as Messier object images, or a more complete NGC/IC catalog. 
+Press the <guibutton>Download Extra Data</guibutton> button to proceed. After you pressed the 
+<guibutton>Download Extra Data</guibutton> button, the <quote>Get Hot New Stuff</quote> window will appear. It is 
+&kstars; Add-On Installer, which will help you to manage what extra information you added to &kstars;. Firstly, you 
+can choose how the add-ons list is displayed, by pressing the <guibutton>Details view mode</guibutton> or 
+<guibutton>Icons view mode</guibutton> button. You may also order the list by various criteria like: newest,
+rating, most downloads or installed. This can be easily done by selecting an option using the radio button.
+You can also make searches using the <guilabel>Search:</guilabel> text box.
+Regarding the list of add-ons, you may perform several actions by selecting an add-on from the list: you can install
+or uninstall an add-on using the <guibutton>Install</guibutton> / <guibutton>Uninstall</guibutton> button, you can
+open the Details window using the <guibutton>Details</guibutton> button or you can rate an add-on by giving a number
+of gold stars, up to five stars. If you want to send an email to the author of an add-on, you are able to do that
+by clicking on his e-mail address. Then, your default e-mail application will guide you through the sending process.
+After you managed your &kstars; add-ons, then you can close the window by pressing the <guibutton>Close</guibutton> 
+button. You can also use the Download Extra Data Files tool later, by selecting <menuchoice><guimenu>Data</guimenu>
+<guimenuitem>Download New Data...</guimenuitem></menuchoice>.
