The one addition I would make is that if it were a fresh install the install 
directory must not already exist or the install would fail. I can't recall if 
g00r00 made an update to allow a pre-existing directory or not. I recall 
running into that situation with linux installs of Mystic a couple times. I had 
to let Mystic create the /home/mystic install directory and then create the  
user "mystic" in linux. I know this scenario is different from the update 
procedure.
