Depending on what you mean by including the wiki, wouldn't a copy of 
MySQL and Apache required on the MailScanner box be required to view it 
properly? I would disagree about the Wiki, in my experience most wikis 
are out of date and poorly organised. But, I do not know about the 
MailScanner Wiki as I have not used it.

On my servers I do not have a way to read a webpage or a PDF. All my 
servers are always headless and without X (they are servers not 
workstations!)

Given a vote I would opt for a URL to current installation information, 
and a plain text copy of the install information. It could be assumed 
that the installing admin has some way of accessing the internet off the 
  installation host, and that they have some way of reading a plaintext 
doc. Vi, Vim, Pico, Less, More, Joe are much more likely to be installed 
than a PDF reader.
