                    MyNameSpace_MyModule_Checkout
                
            
        
    

Create your controller: /app/code/local/MyNameSpace/MyModule/controllers/Checkout/CartController.php

Enable your new module: /app/etc/modules/MyNameSpace_All.xml

  
    
        true
        local
    
  

That's all thats needed. Now go celebrate, you just polished a turd! ;)
