You're right, we should re-point that link at chapter 16.
Thumbing through the other references to the "installation" chapter,
I think we should also change the first one in runtime.sgml,
which is in the material about upgrading. The other ones seem
fine as-is because they are talking about choices you might make
when building from source.
