I doubt that will happen. .906 is out there now and so any updates to it
will wait until the next release. It's not being awkward - just the only way
to keep control of versions. However - you could submit an article to
xaraya.com with your installation experiences. You may even get additional
comments that would help refine the install document further. If you do
this, then a link to the article in the bug would also be helpful.

The main bit missing is the explanation that the only necessary files for
your web server are the contents of the 'html' directory. Is that about
right?
