I beg to differ.  It merely shows an error in the installation's root 
fs.  There's absolutely no reason why a novice couldn't use this 
installation script along with the proper documentation (release notes).

I attempted to model the "instructions" after those that I've encountered 
when installing OSs such as HP-UX, SunOS, and Dynix/ptx.

This, however, does not mean that they couldn't stand some improvement.  
However, it's unlikely that they'll change much (at least for the hp300 
port's install.sh) for 1.1.
