Are there any instructions for installing the info files?  :-)
Ah, I found them.  They are indeed quite short.

What you need to do is to put tramp.info into a directory which is on
the search path for info.  The search path is obtained via the
environment variable $INFOPATH, unless Info-default-directory-list
(Info-directory-list in XEmacs) is set.

Of course, you can also add the directory where tramp.info is to the
search path.

You can use the install-info program to add a `dir' entry for
tramp.info.  For example, change into the directory where you put
tramp.info, and assume it contains a `dir' file.  Then:

    install-info --info-dir=. tramp.info

will do the trick.
