I think this is the main question. What do you mean with this? Is it the job
of the TYPO3 installation documentation to explain how to install a
webserver?

I really like the idea of splitting this in two documents (at least):
- LAMP installation
- TYPO3 installation

As I already said, I'd like that you focus on the second part (since the
first part has not really to do with TYPO3 and might already be written by
someone else who has nothing to do with TYPO3).

Further, this second part would match almost any configuration which means
that we have no more redundancy in any TYPO3 install manual (since it's
obviously the only manual from this moment).

Or was that clear already?!

In my opionion, this doesn't have to do with quick + verbose install. Just
see above.

Since Sebastian said he was looking/working(?) on an SXW export plugin for
his Wiki, this might become a good solution for both of you...

BTW, is Lars reading this list? I sent an invitation to him but never got a
reply. Lars, are you working or in Portugal?? ;-)
