Yes, that's a much better place for these kind of instructions.  We
had them in the past, but they became outdated and odd (for example,
there's no need to tell Windows users to run the installer and click
"next").  If you're willing to maintain such instructions, then the
right place to start is in "meta/web/download/installer-pages.rkt" --
look for "TODO" in that file.  That's just for putting text and seeing
how it looks, but if you do get the texts I can help putting it in the
right places (most likely it'll be wired in via "data.rkt" in the same
directory).

(This includes also installation from source, for those downloads.)
