+      <para>Bugzilla has been successfully installed under many different

-      <para>Bugzilla has been successfully installed under Solaris, Linux,
-      and Win32. Win32 is not yet officially supported, but many people
-      have got it working fine.

+        <para>While installing Bugzilla, it is a good idea to ensure that there
+        is some kind of firewall between you and the rest of the Internet
+        as your machine may be insecure for periods during the install. Many
+        installation steps require an active Internet connection to complete,
+        but you must take care to ensure that at no point is your machine
+        vulnerable to an attack.</para>
+      </warning>
+
+      <para>This guide assumes that you already have your operating system
+      installed, network configured, and have administrative access to the
+      shell on the machine you are installing Bugzilla onto. It is possible to
+      install and run Bugzilla without administrative access, but you have to
+      either make sure all the required software is installed or get somebody
+      with administrative access to install it for you.

+      <para>If you wish to have attachments larger than 64K, you will have to
+      configure MySQL to accept large packets. This is done by adding the text

+      for setting the maximum allowable attachment size.
