-<para>Often, when you want to install a specific package (e.g., from
-the <link
-xlink:href="http://nixos.org/nixpkgs/">Nix
-Packages collection</link>), subscribing to a channel is a bit
-cumbersome.  And channels don’t help you at all if you want to install
-an older version of a package than the one provided by the current
-contents of the channel, or a package that has been removed from the
-channel.  That’s when <emphasis>one-click installs</emphasis> come in
-handy: you can just go to the web page that contains the package,
-click on it, and it will be installed with all the necessary
-dependencies.</para>
-
-<para>For instance, you can go to <link
-xlink:href="http://hydra.nixos.org/jobset/nixpkgs/trunk/channel/latest"
-/> and click on any link for the individual packages for your
-platform.  The first time you do this, your browser will ask what to
-do with <literal>application/nix-package</literal> files.  You should
-open them with <filename>/nix/bin/nix-install-package</filename>.
-This will open a window that asks you to confirm that you want to
-install the package.  When you answer <literal>Y</literal>, the
-package and all its dependencies will be installed.  This is a binary
-deployment mechanism — you get packages pre-compiled for the selected
-platform type.</para>
-
-<para>You can also install <literal>application/nix-package</literal>
-files from the command line directly.  See <xref
-linkend='sec-nix-install-package' /> for details.</para>
