> The installer keeps failing for some unexplainable reason.
Not a problem following the instructions -- such a failure is clearly outside their scope.
You also conveniently ignore the reality that if they don't have permissions to install it... They're not supposed to be installing it in the first place. Report them to their corporate IT department, you'll be doing everyone a favor.
> When they get to the line ending conversions part; what if they don't understand the options and abandon the process?
Purely hypothetical. But if they give up that easily, yes, I consider it PEBKAC. People must take responsibility for their own ignorance and laziness.
> Even though the instructions are nicely laid out, not everyone is accustomed to the command line.
It. Is. Text. Read it. We read every day, we type every day. This is not difficult. Fear of the command line is irrational, which is exactly why I excluded it.
- talmand 14y agoOh I agree, I'm just providing examples. As I stated, the instructions are quite nice and easy to follow. I'm just pointing out possible problems people may have during the install process when so many people seem to be saying surely no problems exist because it is so simple. I tried to make it quite clear that it was all hypothetical and outside the scope of the instructions, maybe I failed. But they are indeed possible problems that people can have during the install process. Whether the people are correctly identifying their problems is a different discussion. You are making my point for me, it is simple for you therefore it should be simple for everyone else. I'm just saying that it is quite possibly not so simple for other people, for various reasons. Nothing more.
