I also vote for keeping the Quick Guides...   I think they are the best
thing since sliced bread!
The only suggestion I would make would be to 'simplify'; them by completely
separating the 1st level and 2nd level install instructions,.
I find that "skipping around" the "other" parts causes more problems than
anything else.

Because there's only so much you can put on one page and have it remain
legible, the Quick Guides are going away.  As this illustrates, they have
outlived their usefulness and now pose a clear and present danger to
society.  (Please don't leave a copy of a Quick Install Guide in a crib -
choking hazard.)
