Sometimes he has to get it patched before installing, then he have to copy it from CD to disk (really can't figue that out...) and then he has to fool the installer to think it's running in a supported environment, last but not least he has to solve all the linking problems (unsupported glibc, unsupported gnuc, etc.) and then, finally it works!
