Hmmm. I *always* do a custom install, and install anything that seems relevant. Is the "workstation" install documented? If so, then RTFM to me; otherwise, let's update the docs. Having said that, I think this is relevant for some README action, as that is more likely to be read than a doc...
I'm going over the details again, so that I can exactly document exactly what needs to be done. -- David N.
