That sort of bugs me as well, Its mostly due to the way phpweb is
built. Attached is a fix so that the introduction has its own
<sect1> forcing the gentoo not to be displayed on the first page.
Example phpweb rendering:
http://phpweb.zirzow.dyndns.org/manual/en/install.unix.php
Any objections to this patch?

First, let me assure you that this is not one of those shady pyramid schemes
you've been hearing about. No, sir. Our model is the trapezoid!

<title>Installation on Unix systems</title>
- <para>
- This section will guide you through the general configuration and
- installation of PHP on Unix systems. Be sure to investigate any
- sections specific to your platform or web server before you begin
- the process.
- </para>
- <para>
- As our manual outlines in the <link linkend="install.general">General
- Installation Considerations</link> section, we are mainly dealing with
- web centric setups of PHP in this section, although we will cover
- setting up PHP for command line usage as well.
- </para>
- <para>
- There are several ways to install PHP for the Unix platform, either
- with a compile and configure process, or through various
- pre-packaged methods. This documentation is mainly focused around
- the process of compiling and configuring PHP. Many Unix like systems
- have some sort of package installation system. This can assist in
- setting up a standard configuration, but if you need to have a
- different set of features (such as a secure server, or a different
- database driver), you may need to build PHP and/or your webserver.
- If you are unfamiliar with building and compiling your own software,
- it is worth checking to see whether somebody has already built a
- packaged version of PHP with the features you need.

- The initial PHP setup and configuration process is controlled by the
- use of the commandline options of the <filename>configure</filename>
- script. Our manual documents the different options separately. You will
- find the <link linkend="configure">core options in the appendix</link>,
- while the different extension specific options are descibed on the
- reference pages.

- <para>
- When PHP is configured, you are ready to build the module and/or
- executables. The command <command>make</command> should
- take care of this. If it fails and you can't figure out why, see
- the <link linkend="install.problems">Problems section</link>.
