Is all of this accurate? Though maybe we want to sort out these issues first:

Though I'm happy to put off 5 so long as this README is strictly better than it was previously.

Okay now I've added a change in the sandstorm data sections that I'm a lot less confident about but if it's wrong I'd like to make a correct version of it.

I'm gonna have a few more things. I just want to get through the installation and then I'll present all my suggestions.

Okay, no longer a "small" clarification. Rename the issue if you'd like. Ready for review. I'll leave a few comments inline to clarify my intent.

Comment thread README.md
- an extra directory at `sandstorm/mnt`
- a sqlite3 database at `sandstorm/sandstorm.sqlite3`
- a sqlite3 database at `/opt/sandstorm/var/sandstorm/sandstorm.sqlite3`
(that's it for now, we will try to update as things progress)

I didn't see a mnt anywhere but maybe it's because I didn't get far enough in running tempest.

If the idea is to have a local version of go, what about modifying $PATH and $GOPATH in the current session to point to the local toolchain, instead of copying this exe to the global location?

Oh right, obviously that's the way to go. Though I'm not sure I need to change GOPATH, I assumed it would be pointing at ~/go. I'll try it.

Account for `make toolchain` and also make it a little more clear for a
newcomer.
