+<para>A profile is a collection of default settings and restrictions
+that can be applied to either individual users or groups of users.</para>
+
+<para>The KDE desktop environment as well as all TDE applications use
+a specific
+<ulink url="http://www.kde.org/areas/sysadmin/fsh.php#dir_structure">directory structure</ulink>
+to lookup configuration settings and various other information.
+KDE knows about several
+<ulink url="http://www.kde.org/areas/sysadmin/fsh.php#dir_location">locations</ulink>
+for these directory structures.
+All the information and
+<ulink url="http://www.kde.org/areas/sysadmin/config_file.php">configuration settings</ulink>
+found in the various locations are

+<para>
+A profile consists of a standard KDE directory structure in a custom location with
+settings and information chosen by you.
+</para>
+
+<para>&kiosktool; lets you chose in which location
+a profile should be stored. Information about available profiles is stored in
+the file &etc_tderc;.
+</para>
+
+<para>It is recommended to store all profiles under a single
+directory. In this case the &etc_tderc; file only needs to contain a reference to this
+single directory and KDE and &kiosktool; will automatically pick up all profiles stored
+under this directory. See the <xref linkend="settings" /> chapter for more information.
