Correct.

GPL section 1:
"You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source code as 
you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and 
appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and 
disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this 
License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients 
of the Program a copy of this License along with the Program."

That is:
- a copy of the GPL must be included
- the licensed work must contain copyright notices saying it's licensed 
under the GPL
- a disclaimer of warranty must be included

Furthermore, section 2c says that it you modify and include an existing 
interactive GPL program that displays the above info when run "in the most 
ordinary way" then your modified version of it also have to do that.

AFAICT the GPL doesn't say anything about displaying anything when 
installing an application.
