A little summary: I managed to install revolution-beta1 ONLY when I set everything writable. This is not advanced modx revo.
Hmmm, I just tested with the beta-2 traditional package, and it appears you are correct. This is a problem with the installer checks it seems. With traditional this should not be necessary, and I’ll release another version in the next few days to correct this and introduce a few other enhancements that should make setup work in a few more environments.
For now, you’ll have to set the / (root of the installation), /manager/, and /connectors/ directories writable though, but be sure to set them back once setup is complete.

And you can manage those files with the built-in File Manager (or any file management application that runs as the Apache/PHP user), just not with your account (again unless you are running suPHP).
I don’t know what you mean with ’those’. Are talking about Transport Packages? So far I didn’t look into that, just installed basic revolution.
With the advanced distribution, the files outside of /core/ are extracted from the core transport package via the PHP process, and thus they are owned by the user executing the PHP process. Because of this, these files will be manageable by the PHP process, but not necessarily by your user account (in environments where PHP runs as the apache user).
With the traditional package, this is not applicable because you physically extract the files directly into place, as your account user.
