 Installation
 =============
 
+This system *should* work on most unix-like systems. I've only tested on 
linuxes so far though: ubuntu, gentoo, and debian.
+
 INSTALLER
 1. svn checkout http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/trunk/testing/
-2. cd testing/installer
-3. copy settings.example to settings.py  and check with settings_handler (if 
you need to)  ... if you leave out this step, it'll only work in your homedir.
+2. (optional): configure for use outside your homedir:
+2a. cd testing/installer
+2b. settings.example to settings.py  and check with settings_handler (if you 
need to)  ... if you leave out this step, it'll only work in your homedir.
 4. mkdir ~/public_html/revisions   (if you are indeed working in your homedir)
+       or at any rate, ensure that the directory you are going to put mediawiki
+       exists, and is accessible to apache
+
 # installer now works.
