+ <para><link xlink:href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebDAV">WebDAV</link> is a protocol
+ that allows to mount a web server's directory
+ locally, so that it appears as a local directory. It is necessary that the
+ remote machine run a WebDAV server. This is not the aim of this tool to
+ configure the WebDAV server.</para>

+ <title>Creating a new entry</title>
+
+ <para>The first screen of the tool displays the already configured entries, if any, and a
+ <guibutton>New</guibutton> button. Use it to create a new entry. Insert
+ the server URL in the field of the new screen.</para>
+
+ <para>Then you get a screen with radio buttons to select some actions.
+ Continue with the action <guibutton>Mount point</guibutton> by clicking
+ <guibutton>OK</guibutton> after selecting the radio button, as the
+ <guibutton>Server</guibutton> is already configured. You can however
+ correct it, if needed.</para>

+ <para>The content of the remote directory will be accessible through this
+ mount point.</para>

+ <para>In the next step, give your user name and password. If you need some

+
+ <para>The option <guibutton>Mount</guibutton> allows you to mount
+ immediately the access.</para>
+
+ <para>After you accepted the configuration with the radio button
+ <guibutton>Done</guibutton>, the first screen is displayed again and your
+ new mount point is listed. After you choose <guibutton>Quit</guibutton>,
+ you are asked whether or not to save the modifications in
+ <emphasis>/etc/fstab</emphasis>. Choose this option if you want that the
+ remote directory is available at each boot. If your configuration is for
+ one-time usage, do not save it.</para>
