Title: Add support for manual /target

This adds support for the user to mount /target by themselves and then run the installer.
This is useful in cases where the user wishes to install eg across multiple volumes, on RAID, using dm-crypt, dmraid, etc.
It very clearly warns the user away from this choice, as they are then forced to create their own /etc/fstab (the only other extra steps for users who opt to take this route).

The first commit fixes a few minor typos, and points out a pretty serious security flaw in install.py:
install.py writes the user's password to disk in plain text and them deletes it using rm, leaving it on disk.
