Easy, easy, I spoke of glasses not of RTFM. :-)  Your original question
was very general, so I thought I give a very general answer.

Of course, it is worthy of discussion, but I haven't made a mall ever,
so the only things I can point to, are the links to posts of people who
have installed malls successfully, and from how I read them it is
possible, without knowing any nitty, gritty details.  

May be those links give you more courage. Otherwise, may be you contact
people in private, who were successful in setting them up.
