Although that is music to my ears, installation is only a breeze when
compared to the past. We still have lots of room for improvement, and
this is where those who are not experts are the most fit to help. If I
don't have to look at documentation during an installation, chances are
big that I will miss unclarities when I go through it.

I think the best we can do at this point is to help you get going, and
then see if we can turn the information exchanged in that process into a
new chapter or tutorial.

Which is exactly why people need to team up. Everything that is written
so far makes perfectly good sense to the writers, BECAUSE they understood
the system well enough. It is the entry-level user that can point out
that it is not that clear at all. So, ask away without being afraid of
being stupid, and do point out what you where missing in the
documentation.
