Actually, I was suggesting that one could just *try it*. Obviously the
documentation must be untrustworthy since it was contradictory. There
was one section which provided a command-line option for unattended
installation and another which implied that there was no option.
The supposition was, apparently, that spurious descriptions of
nonexistent options must have crept into the documentation so the only
real way to figure out what works is to actually run the program.
