You will note that Hubert was discussing a Beginners Guide to installing the
Mac _MINI_, as it exists today.  I think it's important to have such a
series of "pocket guides" for the most common configurations (full install,
2 partition) available.

This series of "pocket Guides" would fill a large hole in our documentation.

Plunking down US$499 and coming home to a fully functional, quiet, gorgeous
server in under an hour is a wonderful feat and should be made as easy as
possible.
