Another option might be (specifically with respect to the "create the default user" screen) to include an "More options" button on the screen. When that's selected, a set of secondary options pop up including perhaps the default shell selection, what sort of envirorment to choose, the specific UID, etc. But by default the screen would be the streamlined one, the same or similar to what we see today except for the addition of that single new button. dsc
