+    <title>Installation Process </title>
+    <p>This chapter describes how to install 
+      <seealso marker="cosTransactions">cosTransactions</seealso> 
+      in an Erlang Environment.
+      </p>
+
+    <section>
+      <title>Preparation</title>
+      <p>Before starting the installation process for cosTransactions,
+        the application Orber must be running.</p>
+      <p>The cosTransactions application must be able to log progress to disk. The log files are
+        created in the current directory as "oe_name@machine_type_timestamp". Hence, <c>read</c> and 
+        <c>write</c> rights must be granted. If the transaction completes in an orderly fashion the 
+        logfiles are removed, but not if an error, which demands human intervention, occur.</p>
+    </section>
+
+    <section>
+      <title>Configuration</title>
+      <p>When using the Transaction Service the <c>cosTransactions</c> application 
+        must be started using either <c>cosTransactions:start()</c> or 
+        <c>application:start(cosTransactions)</c>.
+        </p>
+      <p>The following application configuration parameters exist:</p>
+      <list type="bulleted">
+        <item><c>maxRetries</c> - default is 40 times, i.e., if a transaction participant is unreachable
+         the application will retry to contact it <c>N</c> times. Reaching the maximum is considered to be a disaster.</item>
+        <item><c>comFailWait</c> - default is 5000 milliseconds, i.e., before the application
+         retries to contact unreachable transaction participants the application wait <c>Time</c> milliseconds.</item>
+      </list>
+      <p>Then the <seealso marker="CosTransactions_TransactionFactory">Transaction Factory</seealso>
+        must be started:</p>
+      <list type="bulleted">
+        <item><c>cosTransactions:start_factory()</c> - starts and returns a reference to a factory using default configuration parameters.</item>
+        <item><c>cosTransactions:start_factory(Options)</c> - starts and returns a reference to a factory using given configuration parameters.</item>
+      </list>
+      <p>The following options exist:
+        </p>
+      <list type="bulleted">
+        <item><c>{hash_max, HashValue}</c> - 
+         This value denotes the upper bound of the hash value the <seealso marker="CosTransactions_Coordinator">Coordinator</seealso>  uses.
+         Default is <c>1013</c>. HashValue must be an integer.</item>
+        <item><c>{allow_subtr, Boolean}</c> -
+         If set to true it is possible to create <seealso marker="CosTransactions_Coordinator">subtransactions</seealso>.
+         Default is <c>true</c>.</item>
+        <item><c>{typecheck, Boolean}</c> -
+         If set to to true all transaction operation's arguments will be type-checked.
+         Default is <c>true</c>.</item>
+        <item><c>{tty, Boolean}</c> -  
+         Enables or disables error printouts to the tty. 
+         If Flag is false, all text that the error logger would have sent to the terminal is discarded. 
+         If Flag is true, error messages are sent to the terminal screen. </item>
+        <item><c>{logfile, FileName}</c> -
+         This function makes it possible to store all system information in <c>FileName</c> (string()).
+         It can be used in combination with the tty(false) item to have a silent system, 
+         where all system information are logged to a file. 
+         As default no logfile is used.</item>
+        <item><c>{maxRetries, Integer}</c> -
+         default is 40 times, i.e., if a transaction participant is unreachable the application will 
+         retry to contact it <c>N</c> times. Reaching the maximum is considered to be a disaster.
+         This option overrides the application configuration parameter.</item>
+        <item><c>{comFailWait, Integer}</c> -
+         default is 5000 milliseconds, i.e., before the application retries to contact unreachable 
+         transaction participants the application wait <c>Time</c> milliseconds.
+         This option overrides the application configuration parameter.</item>
+      </list>
+      <p>The Factory is now ready to use. For a more detailed description see <seealso marker="ch_example">Examples</seealso>.
