I=E2=80=99m no expert in =E2=80=9Cinformation architecture=E2=80=9D bu= t I=E2=80=99m under the impression that there=E2=80=99s little margin for improvement. More importantly, I think that someone who cannot be bothered to read this will not install the thing at all since installing requires you to read the much longer installation instructions. Of course we want them to be as small as possible, but I don=E2=80=99t think that=E2=80=99ll be a = single line anytime soon. I hope this makes sense! Thanks for your feedback, Ludo=E2=80=99.
