[App_rpt-users] wiki instructions for a manual install

[AH2S]

I tried unsuccessfully, to run ACID virtualized on a VMware Server a 
couple of years ago.  Everything seemed to be fine but the audio was 
always choppy, no matter what I did.  The hardware was more than 
adequate with plenty of resources available to the VM but it just would 
not pass clean audio.  Since it was running at a colocation facility on 
a 100Mbps up/down connection, bandwidth wasn't the issue either.  Just 
thought I'd share my experience with the group.  I've since, installed 
ACID on dedicated hardware at the colocation facility and it's been 
flawless ever since.
