This document is no good. A lot of relevant info is missing, and a lot of
useless info is given. And it's also written in a "do this, then that,
but don't think" style.
For example, your part about system tweaks and linux emulation, do you
really think some newbie user will understand this? Besides it works only
on i386. You also got PKG_PATH wrong. And you can just answer yes during
installation to have ntpd started. Using cdrecord with a .tgz? Have you
tried that?
Your section about X11 is very incomplete. For instance, you mention
.xinitrc, later (even in a totally different section) xdm_flags, total
chaos. You suggest people to set DefaultDepth 24, but you don't even say
what this is.
Double check what you write, and ask yourself whether it is well
organized and can be understood by your target audience (that's windows
users, according to the title!) ...
