I honestly don't think we need to go into too much detail here. Just point at the README file. Users need to know how to use their own OSes -- it's not our job to teach them.
Well, this is an important thing to hash out before I put any more work into these installation instructions! :)
Do you think I should simply say "Download the gnucash source code, and read the README file for instructions on how to install GnuCash" in the installation section of the guide? It seems to me that we would really be turning off the non-geeks with that...
It would seem silly at first glance to include semi-detailed user friendly installation instructions in gnucash help (which requires a running gnucash installation to read). However, our documentation is in a format which would make for simple packaging into a book or other hard form (pamphlets, handouts, etc). For this situation, I think it would be nice to have instructions a non-ubergeek could understand for how to install the software. Also, you could imagine the situation where you are showing GnuCash off to someone, they want to install it, so you print the installation instructions out for them from the help window.
