Only partly joking, more to indicate 'no offense intended'. The man
pages are quite useful & accurate, but mute on the interaction between
installer & commands invoked from the shell under the installer (for
example). I apparently got in trouble by rebooting from the invoked
shell rather than 'ctrl-D'-ing back to the installer (definitely pilot
error, but too easy to do), leaving things unbootable until I use
another USB installer to zero out enough of the 2 offending drives to
be able to boot the installer again. Again, no biggie, but a bit more
discussion somewhere might have kept me out of the drink.
A fair point, but this all belongs in the installer documentation, as
the commands are part of base and the installer is on top, logically.
