+# Generic
+
+This bucket is never enabled by default. You have to enable it explicitly like
+this:
+
+```ruby
+Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
+  config.cache.enable :generic, { :cache_dir => "/var/cache/some" }
+end
+```
+
+The :cache_dir parameter is required. It specifies the directory on the guest
+that will be cached under the "generic" bucket.
+
+You may enable more than one generic bucket by giving them different names via
+the :name parameter, like this:
+
+```ruby
+Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
+  config.cache.enable :generic, { :name => "one", :cache_dir => "/var/cache/one" }
+  config.cache.enable :generic, { :name => "two", :cache_dir => "/var/cache/two" }
+end
+```
+
+In this case you get two buckets called "generic-one" and "generic-two".
+
+The Generic bucket is useful if you want to implement a caching mechanism by
+hand. For instance, if you want to cache your wget downloads under
+/var/cache/wget you can do this:
+
+```ruby
+Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
+  config.cache.enable :generic, { :name => wget, :cache_dir => "/var/cache/wget" }
+end
+```
+
+Then, you invoke wget like this:
+
+```sh
+wget -N -P /var/cache/wget URL
+```
