This is nice. I actually did this on one of the servers as well :). |

However, WRT original post (adding this to FAQ) I think this should rather go |

to install instructions. There was some work done on an updated version, you |
| 19 |
can take a look at "Installation insrtruction" thread (or rhater threads as |
| 20 |
it came up multiple times). I think the topic was set by Michael Lang. |

Great idea, but please check with Michael Lang, who was working on such |
| 31 |
install guide (Oh, I see he just responded in a new post). |
