Scott,

Thanks for your testing. I'll probably add most of the things you 
mention to the bugs.koha.org if they're not already there. I find the 
outdated docs on the koha.org site cause more people problems than 
almost anything else. I will update the docs in the tarball before 
2.0.1 is released, hopefully next week.

There is non-root installation capability through prefix and etcdir 
environment variables. That was one of the first things I added. I 
should probably bomb out if we can't write to the chosen etcdir (which 
defaults to "/etc").
