+
+        <para>If you build your own packages, then you will want to install
+        the Shorewall products into it's own directory tree. This is done by
+        adding DESTDIR to the installer's environment. For example, to install
+        a product for Debian into the /tmp/package directory:</para>
+
+        <programlisting>DESTDIR=/tmp/package ./install.sh shorewallrc.debian</programlisting>
+      </section>

+        <title>Install into a Sandbox</title>
+
+        <para>When DESTDIR is used, the resulting configuration is not
+        runnable, because all configuration pathnames are relative to
+        $DESTDIR. Beginning with Shorewall 4.6.4, you can create runnable
+        configurations separate from your main configuration. Here is a sample
+        shorewallrc file:</para>
+
+        <programlisting>                INSTALL_DIR=/usr/local/shorewall-custom
+                HOST=suse

+
+        <para>The above shorewallrc creates a runnable configuration in
+        /usr/local/shorewall-custom. It is triggered by adding SANDBOX to the
+        shorewallrc file -- any non-empty value for that variable will prevent
+        the installer from replacing the current main configuraiton. </para>
