<para><parameter>--sysconfdir=/etc/zsh</parameter> and

used so that all the <application>zsh</application> configuration files
are consolidated into the <filename class='directory'>/etc/zsh</filename>
directory. Omit these parameters if you wish to retain historical
compatibility by having all the files located in the
<filename class='directory'>/etc</filename> directory.</para>
<para><parameter>--bindir=/bin</parameter>: This parameter places the
<command>zsh</command> binaries into the root filesystem.</para>
<para><option>--enable-cap</option>: This option enables
POSIX capabilities.</para>
<para><option>--disable-gdbm</option>: This option disables the
use of the <application>GDBM</application> library.</para>
<para><option>--enable-pcre</option>: This option allows zsh to use
the <application>PCRE</application> regular expression library in shell
builtins.</para>
<sect3 id="mountpoints">
<title>Multiple partitions</title>
<para>Linking <application>zsh</application> dynamically against
<application>pcre</application> and/or <application>gdbm</application>
produces runtime dependencies on <filename class='libraryfile'>
libpcre.so</filename> and/or <filename class='libraryfile'>libgdbm.so
</filename>respectively, which both reside in
<filename class='directory'>/usr</filename> hierarchy. If
<filename class='directory'>/usr</filename> is a separate mount point
and <application>zsh</application> needs to be available in boot time,
then its supporting libraries should be in
<filename class='directory'>/lib</filename> too. You can move the
libraries as follows:</para>
<screen role="root"><userinput>mv -v /usr/lib/libpcre.so.* /lib &amp;&amp;
ln -v -sf ../../lib/libpcre.so.0 /usr/lib/libpcre.so
mv -v /usr/lib/libgdbm.so.* /lib &amp;&amp;
ln -v -sf ../../lib/libgdbm.so.3 /usr/lib/libgdbm.so</userinput>
</screen>
<para>Alternatively you can statically link <application>zsh</application>
against <application>pcre</application> and <application>gdbm</application>
if you modify the <filename>config.modules</filename> file (you need first
to run configure to generate it).</para>

<para>There are a whole host of configuration files for

<filename>/etc/zsh/zshenv</filename>,
<filename>/etc/zsh/zprofile</filename>,
<filename>/etc/zsh/zshrc</filename>,
<filename>/etc/zsh/zlogin</filename> and
<filename>/etc/zsh/zlogout</filename>.
You can find more information on these in the <filename>zsh(1)</filename>
and related manual pages.</para>
<para>
The first time zsh is executed, you will be prompted by messages asking
several questions. The answers will be used to create a
<filename>~/.zshrc</filename> file. If you wish to run these questions
again, run <command>zsh
/usr/share/zsh/&zsh-version;/functions/zsh-newuser-install -f</command>.
</para>
<para>
There are several built-in advanced prompts. In the
<command>zsh</command> shell, start advanced prompt support with
<command>autoload -U promptinit</command>, then
<command>promptinit</command>. Available prompt names are listed with
<command>prompt -l</command>. Select a particular one with
<command>prompt <literal>&lt;prompt-name&gt;</literal></command>. Display all available
prompts with <command>prompt -p</command>. Except for the list and
display commands above, you can insert the other ones in
<filename>~/.zshrc</filename> to be automatically executed at
shell start, with the prompt you chose.
