On your http://www.blackhelicopters.org/~mwlucas/troubleshoot/install.html. There is a section 2. 10. I looks like two links but there are really 3.

The people that need it are going to be the ones that are trying to install it the first time. They are most like trying to break away from MS but they will probably still have a MS machine somewhere. A real app will only run on FreeBSD. When FreeBSD doesn't work, where will they run the "real app". A doc like this is the only way in my mind. I can create pdf or html. It covers all of their "other" machines.
