The definition of the terms "install" and "stage" is obviously clear to those that know what they mean, but it is not clear to me how they relate to Boost. I have worked with software for more than a quarter of a century, and I have even developed a couple of software promotion packagers, so I do have a basic understanding of the terms "install" and "stage". As best as I can guess, an "install" would be a combination of a "stage" and something else. So I assume I can do an install, but I might be wrong. So I think it would help to define those terms a bit more for the "Getting Started" page, for the benefit of all. For me, I have a Windows system and I have downloaded: http://aleron.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/boost/boost_1_31_0.zip I have unzipped that to a temporary location. It is not clear to me if that will work. I am not sure if I can do an "install" and have everything I need put in the location I specify for using Boost. If that is explained somewhere then I apologize for missing it, but I think it is not made very clear.
