There is no need to document such things.
A simple look into "lib/python/Products" (or, maybe "$INSTANCE_HOME/Products")
shows you what products are in your 2.5.1 installation.

Never document things, that can be directly observed...

Whenever, you have Zope startup problems:

  *  activate Zope logging (--> "doc/LOGGING.txt")

  *  start Zope

  *  look into the logfile.

  *  if necessary, post relevant parts ("PANIC" and "ERROR" messages)
     of the logfile
