I've composed about three replies to this so far - I finally
found my notes on that install process during the course
of writing the second one. Understanding a few things a
little better than I did back then I now see that the
problem was that I'm a friggin idiot. I could include
more details if you want but it would bore all the people
who already know I'm an idiot - let's just leave it at that.
For the record there was really nothing at all unclean
about it, I only got that impression because of various
utterly stupid things I did.

Once I got it working it went right onto my I-don't-see-
how-you-guys-can-give-this-stuff-away list, btw - hope
you don't have the idea I've been wanting my money
back or anything.

You only think that because you're not stupid enough to find
ways to screw it up...
