That is a good point. If the wiki should be used, it's location must be
documented in the tarball. Or even in the XaAES About dialog.

There is no such thing. An installer can only assist.

And where do they get FreeMiNT from? On floppies from the local PD
library? ;-)

But again, the problem is that there is currently no easy way to access
the wiki on a computer running FreeMiNT. So the wiki can not be the only
place to find FreeMiNT docs. Plain text or plain HTML versions of the
user guide must exist and preferably be included in the tarball/zip.
