Interesting, I wasn't aware. Personally, I'd support a feature of the
standard installer to put it in a silent mode. I don't think it should
be a check box, but as perhaps a "Ctrl+P" type thing. Then we can argue
about whether it's "Privacy Mode" or "Paranoid Mode" ;-) That way those
who really care would be likely to know it, but it wouldn't complicate
the more standard installs.
