[Paul W. Frields]

After sending this to Elliot and cc'ing Karsten and Stuart, I realized
the FDSCo list was a better destination.  Read on...

OK, I understand.  Originally we just wanted a single .html file in the
root of disc1, but I realized after I sent the email that whatever we
wanted to include, it should probably be done as part of the automated
{re,}spin, which means some work to integrate.  We will revisit this
issue for FC4 and simply make sure the release notes point to the f.r.c
web site for the installation guide.

I'm cc'ing Karsten to make sure that the release notes point prominently
at the f.r.c copy of the installation guide, which should exist by the
time the ISO's are out.
