| I use it as a prompt card, have it open on my laptop more to help with the order of the install, as I can remember it, but not always in the right order. |

| I start 'bout chapter 5 ( Installing Installation files) and follow handbook. I tried installing without handbook but I ended up forgeting a few steps ( nothing that broke installation but wasted a few minutes). |

| I use it as a check list, or I'll forget to update something. |

I usually use my checklist for doing installs (which were that many already I stopped counting)

Yes I use it although not frequently.
I see little point in trying to memorize all the small details of the installation process. Even though it could be useful sometimes.
Thanks for all the developers who maintain the excellent documentation!
