We encourage people to print out and have with them the one-sheet guide
to installing. I've been updating it for the new installer, and it
mentions that URL at least once, along with a bit of explaination as to
why you should register.
The latest version of the one-sheet is at
/afs/sipb/project/doc/ilinux/linux-net-install/rh-net-install
(not the release location)
I encourage anyone who feels like it to check it out and make
changes/corrections, and/or to offer constructive criticism.
There's not much we can do to make users actually read the documentation,
but...
