Comment:

 [attachment:24982.diff] is a compromise of sorts.

 * It improves the wording of the errors so we can drop the 'ERROR' bit off
 the front
 * It also marks the Username and Email fields with an asterisk, e.g.
 required
 * And shuffles the fields so the two required Username and Email fields
 are grouped together

 I think we should look at giving the install screen (and perhaps
 install.php itself) a facelift as part of the admin overhaul in 3.8. These
 small changes will be enough I think until we're ready to take more
 invasive steps to improve the experience.
