Hello Kees,

Although the policies for KB/manuals areas aren't approved yet, I'm 
approving all (non-crap) content submitted to the KnowledgeBase (under 
/documentation/kb in plone.org) as a rule of thumb.

I'd love to gather all these installation instructions in an unique, 
all-platforms aware, beautiful installation manual (which can give us a 
lot of marketing and evangelism points :), see 
https://dev.plone.org/plone/ticket/9080. But as long as there isn't 
anybody really stepping in to work on this, I prefer scattered 
documentation to no documentation. So I've just published your howto.

Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge,
Israel. :)
