 '''Note:'''
  * To see why /usr/local is not a viable install location for MacPorts, see [wiki:FAQ#defaultprefix]
- * If you install to non default location (/opt/local) you can't use the default binary archives so will have to build all packages from source.
+ * If you install MacPorts to a non-default location (i.e. anywhere other than /opt/local), then you cannot use the default binary archives, so therefore you will have to build all packages from source. See the BinaryArchives wiki page for more information.
 
 == Install MacPorts from source as an unprivileged (non-root) user == #source_unprivileged
