The one addition I would make is that if it were a fresh install the install
directory must not already exist or the install would fail. I can't recall if
g00r00 made an update to allow a pre-existing directory or not. I recall
running into that situation with linux installs of Mystic a couple times. I had
 to let Mystic create the /home/mystic install directory and then create the 
user "mystic" in linux. I know this scenario is different from the update
procedure.
