I'm updating the INSTALL (the ascii text we roll into the tarball) to reflect the fact the installer is your best bet for getting koha up and running.

I am planning on taking the step by step directions out and give directions on how to start the installer.

The "custom" and "step by step" directions are still on the manual and the website, but I don't see any reason, considering the quality of the installer now, to keep the step-by=step in the tarball separately, esp. as they are the last to be updated (usually)....

Unless, of course, someone has a strong reason for keeping that in there?

Speaking for myself, in twelve years of sysadminning, I've been bitten by too many install scripts that make unwarranted assumptions about my system[1], so a set of plain-text installation instructions gives me the warm fuzzies. If nothing else, they provide something to fall back on that's easier than RTFSing the install script.
