I agree completely with this, my opinion is we need somthing that explains the
concepts of what has to be done and why, and provides pointers to where to get
the detailed information.

I find once I understand what somthing is trying to do and why, debugging the
details is easy.

For what its worth the biggest problem I ever had setting up a plan9 network
was failing to ensure bootes password was the same in the nvram as in keyfs.
