I agree that the original page should be moved back into
slackware:install . It will allow us to create a much more elaborate
installation document, catering both new and experienced users. It is
not linked from the front page for no reason.

Then the original installation chapter from the Book can take its place
in slackbook: namespace. The Slackware Book section in our Wiki should
resemble the original as closely as possible.

Aye to this. An english page must always exist for any non-english
article. If you lack the time to create a proper english translation of,
say, a pt_BR original, then please create a place holder page in the
english section, and signal the staff editors that this page need
attention (you do that by adding a tag "needs_attention" to the page).
Explain what needs to be done for the page in the "discussion" tab of
the incomplete page.
