MiniVend is an ambitious and complex program, and is not presented as being easy to use, easy to install, or bug-free. The configuration script was done to try and make a very painful process only slightly painful. Some people install in one pass. Others never make it. Determined and thoughtful users almost always make MiniVend work.
