These sorts of options don't belong in the OS installer. However, you could have a "default user profile" that's in a package that gets installed on new systems you setup; or you could have a desktop program that lets you configure this. Putting options like this into the installer inevitably leads to a complicated install process and duplication of desktop configuration software. Cheers, -- Shawn Walker
