Where should I put an RMagick installation FAQ?

[Timothy Hunter]

About 95% of the email I get about RMagick is about installation
problems so I'm thinking about writing an "RMagick installation FAQ."
This doc would cover planning questions like "which package should I
use?", O/S specific issues, how to resolve problems, etc.

Where is the best place to put such a document? To be useful, it should
be read _before_ starting to install RMagick, even before downloading
it, so putting the information in the tarball or gem itself is no good.
(Besides, a lot of this information is already in the README files.)
What about a link from the RMagick home page (rmagick.rubyforge.org)? Or
as a thread in the RMagick "Hints & Tips" forum on RubyForge? Or
somewhere else entirely?

Where would _you_ look if you were thinking about installing RMagick?

Yes: http://rmagick.rubyforge.org/
(under the 'Prerequisites' heading you already have)

BTW:
Download ImageMagick
ImageMagick Download Sites ->
http://www.imagemagick.org/www/archives.html

The requested URL /www/archives.html was not found on this server.

Thanks! I notice it only took two days for a blog to link to it:
