Maybe, but this is Drupal.  The installer in Drupal7 gets completely
broken on a pretty regular basis, and that's not a new thing - things
like that often happen in HEAD.  I agreed with Shai's proposal.  I
think it should primarily explain how to check out DRUPAL-6.  The only
drawback I can think of for doing that is it will require us to update
that page whenever a new version is released.
