A confusion generator in the install readme is that the reader must scan through all of the options ve is not interested in e.g. other systems, binary vs. source etc. How about an index at the beginning. Then the installee simply selects the link that goes to their preferred style (binaries, source, etc.) architecture/or OS.
It seems reasonable that the installee will know e.g. what OS they are installing on.

This sounds like a good improvement. Will you add such an index or shall I?

arch: now would be a fine time to submit a patch to the README that adds an index.

Later would also work.

This text now lives in source:docs/install-details.html, and it still needs some good lovin'.

The existence of the new elegant "How to Install Tahoe": http://allmydata.org/source/tahoe/trunk/docs/install.html makes the need for this obsolete.
