I've come back from holiday to catch up on this discussion. Since I was one of original complainants, I'd like to say: 1 Thanks for work on this - definitely improved. 2 I don't think it would hurt to offer examples for most items, mostly Windows as they are less clued up than *nixers, for example, suggest download to a convenient temporary location, for example c:\temp. 3 You have wisely provided a way to work if you only want to use header files, allow a skip to Add the Boost root directory to the compiler's #include <...> path But this means you need to recommend a location for unpacking boost, outside bjam. So add "Unpack the downloaded package to a Boost root directory, for example, c:\boost for Win32 or /usr/local for *nix." 3 The Windows tools/options/ should mention the include (and later the library) path dropdown, and say if the order of includes in important (I put it first - but is that best, or doesn't it matter?). 4 You don't mention VC8 - soon to be widely used. 5 It would be helpful to replace all reference to previous versions to 1_33. 6 The revision dates need updating.
