pgAdmin has a mechanism to suggest values (currently for autovacuum and
listen_address only), which waits for expansion :-)

So why don't you just do that with Postgres? You could call it
"Bootable PostgreSQL". It would be a big hit. When a new version comes
out, you can just mail out a new DVD.
Actually, we have these. We give them out at conferences.

Oracle's graphical installer is a material impediment to Oracle
adoption. The installer only works on systems where particular versions
of Java and Motif libraries are available. On 64-bit Opteron systems it
