Proposed "sticky" : How to use this forum

If there are no objections, I'll take the two relevant posts (points 1 to 12, and 13 to 14), put them in the "Installation & Troubleshooting" section, lock them, and sticky them. I get the impression that this section people visit first, being at the top.

Those moderators who speak other languages than English may want to make a copy, translate as required, and post the translated copies into their own International sections.
