Yep.

That's exactly why we need to get it done.  A document already exists. 
And it's badly wrong.  And we can't just "fix it".

We need a replacement.  :-)

I like Thomas's suggestion of using the existing installation guide, and
making sure it has Linux specific stuff in it too.

So, I think that's what we'll do.

Regards and best wishes,

Justin Clift
