First, Valentin, thanks for asking. In truth, the presentation of
Lilypond is simply excellent - superb documentation, a program that
really works, and an excellent website (plus this extraordinary
discussion list). So...we're looking only a "the small stuff" here.

Second, I think Bryan's suggest is excellent, and would like to see it
adopted, because, as I've said, in six months of using Linux, this is my
first encounter with an installer of this sort, and it really tripped me
up. BUT, I'd add a note to the webpage (where the installer downloads
are found) which points out that the user will be offered this choice
and clarifies, briefly, the implications of each option. THAT, to my
mind, would be a perfect resolution of the problem.
