Hello, That's a nice installation guide. Since you are targeting beginners, I would add two sections: 1. uninstall Boost. If it is easy to clean up, more people may be tempted to give it a try. 2. upgrade from an older version. Also, beginners may wonder if it is possible to have different versions of Boost on the same system.

I've just finished my 2nd rewrite of the Boost Getting Started Guide. The quality of this crucial document shapes our users' first experiences with Boost, and for many, determines whether they use Boost or give up in frustration.
I really need feedback on what I've done, **especially from experienced Boosters** who can vett my statements for accuracy. I have already received some really valuable input from this group and poured it into this 2nd rewrite. There were, however, quite a few problems I discovered by chance through communications with experienced Boosters who haven't given me feedback on the guide. I'm wonder what problems I'm still missing, and I hope you can tell me.
You can review the guide at http://www.boost-consulting.com/boost/more/getting_started.html.
Thank you for your time,
