There are only two possible places to put that info:

1. on the install media or as hardcopy in the shrinkwrap box
2. the latest up to date stuff on the vendors web site, where you access
it by using *a*different* computer

Yes, the situation looks stupid at first glance. But how else would you
do it? Alastair's root problem is that the docs he needed weren't on the
CD/iso
