You're right, we should re-point that link at chapter 16. Thumbing through the other references to the "installation" chapter, I think we should also change the first one in runtime.sgml, which is in the material about upgrading. The other ones seem fine as-is because they are talking about choices you might make when building from source. regards, tom lane
