Depending on the speed of your server you *will* need more than 600 
seconds...

A new and clean vtiger 6.5.0 installation has around 500 tables.

Installation can cake quite a long time. Edit your php.ini and set the 
timeout to 0. The wiki is very old and not kept in sync with the code 
(phpDocumentor anyone?)

Ignore the "hotfix". This is already incorporated in the main tarball. 
vtiger have a really *weird* way of managing release versions. 
Basically, they release a version, say 6.5.0. Then if there is a serious 
bug they release a "hotfix" for people who have already installed 6.5.0 
and re-issue the 6.5.0 taball again with the hotfix included for new users.
