 When doing [http://install4free.wordpress.net/ Install4Free] installs, if
 someone requests that I install WordPress in the root of their domain, I
 actually put WP in {{{/wordpress/}}} and put the {{{index.php}}} in the
 root. By doing that, I'm still doing as they requested, but keeping their
 {{{public_html}}} folder clean.

 Now, I have to say that since {{{WP_HOME}}} and {{{WP_SITEURL}}} got added
 to {{{wp-config.php}}} this suddenly got a lot faster, but one annoying
 thing is that when you then access the root of the domain, the greeting
 message:

 {{{
 It doesn't look like you've installed WP yet. Try running install.php.
 }}}

 ...links to the wrong URL. I have to manually navigate to
 {{{/wordpress/}}} and click the {{{install.php}}} link from there. At this
 point, WP is able to read from {{{wp-config.php}}}, so if {{{WP_SITEURL}}}
 is set by now (which I always do), make it link something like this
 instead:

 {{{
 if ( defined('WP_SITEURL') )
     echo '<a href="' . WP_SITEURL . '/wp-
 admin/install.php">install.php</a>';
 else // hardcoded:
     echo '<a href="wp-admin/install.php">install.php</a>';
 }}}
