While I didn't have much problem installing with the aid of the current
notes (using OF 1.0.5 probably helps here), I'd like to add a voice in
opposition to one of your options (all the others seem fine to me, and I'm
pleased to hear that someone wants to make the instructions better).

This is true, but doesn't help when you're half-way through the installation
and can't remember the next stage, especially when booting into Mac OS tends
to destroy OF settings.  Having a single document that contained everything
I needed to know, and that could be printed out before I started, was very
useful for me.  It would be a pity to lose this virtue of the current
instructions.
