It contains several generation of questions about old install instructions, or install instructions from third party sites. The idea is that the install instructions should be updated with each release, addressing areas of clear confusion from the forums. Since all these should be addressed, the questions about them are no longer necessary. The forums are *not* meant as a source of information, they're meant as a way to ask for clarification when the proper sources of information have failed. If people are searching them for answers then we haven't succeeded in improving the documentation from where these people have seen problems. Basically, my proposition is that the documentation is constantly improving, and the instructions are changing from time to time. Having a consistent pattern of tidying up the old posts is better than just leaving bad information around forever. Even if the information is not "bad", the manual should always be better, and when it's not, we should fix it by the next release.
