If you had a gnome-initial-setup (minus some steps, just language and keyboard) in the Live environment, the only thing you'd need to setup would be where to install the OS. Which is about all I think an installer should do. ----- Original Message ----- > Hi, > > I put together a desired installation experience wishlist.
