Appendixes or References are fine to me but not on a top level heading.
References would certainly be my (light) preference.

If you can find a way to keep each one of them on a single page, it
would be best. Having one page for the installation procedure only (see
for example this page http://www.nan-tic.com/ftp/pgdoc/x76728.html) is a
little too much.

Anyways, great work, Albert. Thanks.

Regards.
