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.
