If applicable, be sure the installation section addresses uninstallation (a godawful term!) and upgrade installation information.
Also, include sales and tech support voice and fax phone numbers and addresses, physical and e-mail, and web-site. (If this info is not already present elsewhere. Even if it is, as a user, I like everything in one place.)
