This is a valid issue, and a good starting point. However in the current 
shape it's helping just a subset of the people. In the first place the 
location you specified is true for the rpm/deb packages, but not the 
.run one. Additionally it doesn't mention the place where the OSE 
variant downloads the ISO to. Also what's missing is the other host 
platforms - Windows, Mac OSX and Solaris.

Should we just add this or do you want to have ago at this yourself?

I'll add it as soon as I've got feedback on the issues above.
