for the record: we don't have a lot of bugs open for making the install process easier, mostly because i don't do installs and mark has done it so many times he can do it in his sleep, but if you spot anything that should be changed to make the process easier please file bugs for it. it's not one of those priorities that springs to my mind often (see also: i don't do installs) but any work we can do to make the process better is a good thing.

i saw you asking in irc scrollback earlier today, meanwhile, and yes, we would love better install instructions (for a standalone setup, i mean, not for dreamhack type stuff) in the wiki. if you don't have an account already, talk to foxfirefey (and i think a few other people can do it too but i'm blanking on names) -- they'll get you hooked up.
