I don't like this one because I don't like white text on dark background at
all. Nevertheless, it's a good archive.
BTW - I'm a little bit confused, which install page do you mean?
Are you talking about cocooncenter at all?
And what about the archive at Real Time? It's searchable too.

Yeah, I want to spend as much time as possible on long-lasting
articles.

That is a good idea, but if I started to provide installation instructions,
I have to answer installation questions to stay credible. And, unfortunately,
I don't have the time to do that ... what about you? :)
