Debian Installer for GNU/Hurd, for example, never worked well. For some reason
they never did install the grub into the mbr (which is not hurd specific
operation). The other problem with debian-installer for hurd is that it
required user to manualy start /native-install (twice) to bootstrap the
system. I do understand that the stuff that native-install does could not
have been done using linux live cd. But they could have put it into some init
script so that the users don't have to think about that. For example, see
AMS's installation. It doesn't have any installer, but it is very user
friendly, and you could easily build an install CD (linux, hurd, *bsd, or
even windows based if there were mkfs.ext2 on windows) that would partition
the drive, install his stage1 of gnu/hurd and then just reboot and everything
is done automaticly.

I don't think that there should be an installation manual. Or at least, I
don't believe that the installation manual should be needed to install the
system...
