running vendor shell scripts

Does anyone run a lot of SH (shell script) commands from vendors. i.e... product installations. And do you edit/change as a rule of thumb? I done a lot of product installs and some tend to think we should edit/change a vendors SH script. I am just looking for your thoughts. Thanks.

when installing software for the most part i dont read the makefiles and stuff like that.

if it is a shell script i tend to go over it to see what it is doing exactly, this serves 3 purposes.

1) i know what is going on when i run it.
2) mabey they do something i dont do so i can get a few hints for future scripts i might have to write.
3) tends to show me what kinda people i am dealing with due to sloppy codeing or if they just bang it out or is it written better then something i would have done.
