A simple log of my interaction sums it up pretty well. The setup script always chose the defaults despite my choices. This was on a fresh Ubuntu 10.04 installation:

ubuntu@ip-10-243-123-246:~/redis-2.4.4/utils$ sudo ./install_server.sh
Welcome to the redis service installer
This script will help you easily set up a running redis server

Please select the redis port for this instance: [6379]
Selecting default: 6379
Please select the redis config file name [/etc/redis/6379.conf] /etc/redis/tc.conf
Selected default - /etc/redis/6379.conf
Please select the redis log file name [/var/log/redis_6379.log] /var/log/redis.tc.log
Selected default - /var/log/redis_6379.log
Please select the data directory for this instance [/var/lib/redis/6379] /var/lib/redis/tc
Selected default - /var/lib/redis/6379
Please select the redis executable path [/usr/local/bin/redis-server]
Copied /tmp/6379.conf => /etc/init.d/redis_6379
