The 960px fixed width layout causes the Installation and Configuration entry on the mega menu to be below Getting Started, Language Reference, Security, Features and Function Reference. So much so, it may well be beneath the fold for any user on a display with a shorter than my 1080. Installation and Configuration really needs to be up front and personal. The layout used to have it on the right hand side. Still not ideal, but at least it was onscreen. Changing the #mega-drop-down div.children-1 {width: 960px;} to 1010px (using 1px increments to see when things would pop-up) allows the mega menu to show all on screen in a 1010x652. So, a 1024x768 display looks fine. At 960px, the mega menu is 963px tall and on a 1024x768 display, you can only see the Installation and Configuration option if you go 100% full screen with no systray and no browser chrome. I know the received wisdom is fixed 960px layout, but the CSS gurus here must be able to do some magic to make things a little more fluid.
