I got rid of the step in the directions warning you not to choose custom
install, since the option is gone from the installer.  It saves 2-3 lines.

I was deliberately repetative on this theme, because we get a lot of
people who ignore the PWOG because they've run previous versions of
linux-athena, and they think they know all about it.

There's also a lot of confusion out there about the relationships
between "athena" "sipb linux athena" and "linux" in maintenance model.
That paragraph was intended to clarify the situation.
