That is actually a good idea IMHO.  (Though you may be right that "flashing" 
it is not the way to go :)  Putting a message about turning off virus scanners 
early in the install (maybe something like "Turn off your virus scanner during 
this installation, see the FAQ for more info.").  I certainly can't speak for 
everyone, I usually don't read readme files until _after_ I install software 
unless there is something that tells me it would really be in my interest to 
do so beforehand.

Just my thoughts.
