Description
Some edits: the copy command example in the expert section only copies a few files, like mythweb.php and the .pl file into /var/www/html, which isn't the intent, because it doesn't copy the actual mythweb directory.
the mv of the mythweb.conf.apache needs to have the trailing .apache removed in order for apache to look at it (the httpd.conf has an include, but it just does *.conf, so .apache doesn't match)
Also, some spelling changes.

SVN 12262:
In Section 5.1 of the INSTALL, there's an incomplete sentence:
" There are other settings in this file, too, which should be fairly well documented. Please read through the "
Not sure of the intent, so can't create a patch.

In section 5.0, you state:
MythWeb relies on four apache modules that are generally either built in or enabled by default: mod_env mod_rewrite
but then you only list two modules. Later on it says that mod_deflate and mod_headers are disabled but you're encouraged to enable them. Pedantically, it's not correlating: MythWeb either relies on all four, or just the two.
(And if pedantics are the worst that I can find, then that's pretty good.)
Works a lot better if you attach the diff so trac can display it properly.
Anyway, I don't want the install to have people installing mythweb such that people have to go to http://mythtv.localdomain/mythweb/ when it's usually the only web app running on the box. The rest of this will get committed shortly.
