"Choose your own" install guide

[Kevin McGowan]

Hi folks,

As I'm learning more and more complications about our product install 
process from the professional services people, I am now pondering rewriting 
my install guide modelled on the old "choose your own adventure" books from 
my childhood.

Essentially, if you drew it all out in a flow chart, the flow chart would go 
on for pages and make it seem ridiculously complicated. Instead, I'm 
thinking of a more user-friendly approach...and am wondering if anyone has 
done this, or might have an opinion on it.

Basically, it would go like this:

You want to install PRODUCT on Windows - go to page 10
You want to install PRODUCT on Linux - go to page 13

In the Windows section:
You want to enable SAS support, go to page 20.
You want to skip SAS support, go to page 21.

Is this madness? Will a reader be annoyed reading a 100-page document set up 
like this?

Cheers,
Kevin
