Good idea.  Done in aca738f.  Step #6 becomes:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
  6. Make the =E2=80=98guix=E2=80=99 command available to other users on th=
e machine,
     for instance with:

          # mkdir -p /usr/local/bin
          # cd /usr/local/bin
          # ln -s /var/guix/profiles/per-user/root/guix-profile/bin/guix

     It is also a good idea to make the Info version of this manual
     available there:

          # mkdir -p /usr/local/share/info
          # cd /usr/local/share/info
          # for i in /var/guix/profiles/per-user/root/guix-profile/share/in=
fo/* ;
            do ln -s $i ; done

     That way, assuming =E2=80=98/usr/local/share/info=E2=80=99 is in the s=
earch path,
     running =E2=80=98info guix=E2=80=99 will open this manual (*note (texi=
nfo)Other
     Info Directories::, for more details on changing the Info search
     path.)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Carl, WDYT?

Thanks,
Ludo=E2=80=99.
