Really? My memories of installation nightmares have been with people not having
made things webserver writable trying to install, getting to a point where the
db and everything was setup, it trying to write the config file, failing, then
leaving the user to have to cleanup and restart the whole process.
That... or if the system had decent writable checks being forced to change the
permission of folder after folder one by one, only to find when I return to the
installer I have even more things it's telling me I need to change the
permissions of.
