I'd go along with that. It's rare to see more than a simple couple of 
pages of "Quick Installation" in hardcopy these days with commercial 
software.  Everyone now sees to be supplying manuals on CD either as 
HTML or PDF.

If you do go that route, I'd definitely use PDF not HTML.. Then the 
user *can* print it out easily - it's a bitch trying go get a 
hardcopy of hundreds of html pags :-(
