Ah, so you are aware of it.

Whatever, so a few months later you try to clear this issue up?
On irc you said the same thing in order to avoid further sillyness
here. blah... I'm tired of it.

Well have you ever released anything? You can give people exact docs
and for whatever reason they still ignore it, don't read it or plain
miss-interpret it. So if the installation can be made simplier I don't
see a problem there.

See above...
Last nite on IRC 2 people "holywater" and "elios" first thing they
wanted was mint installation help.  One asked "Were do I put mint.cnf?"
Honest truth! The other says kgmd gets all the way done and says
"not installed". If new docs is the answer as you say then someone
better get busy.
