How exactly should this happen? Another screen with questions like: "Do you want to mount your NTFS volumes? y/N" and "Do you want your NFTS volumes to be mounted read only? Y/n"? I don't think bothering people with more questions is necessary or useful. You already have the opportunity to configure NTFS mounts during install. Usually I tell anaconda/disc druid to mount my Windows partition to /mnt/windows. Now that we have ntfs-3g in default install, you have r/w access when you first boot your computer after install. For me this is enough. Personally I don't want partitions to be mounted automatically somewhere without being asked. I want control over my installation and I like to have a choice. > * Beagle and Deskbar installed by default > these applications make all the difference for an desktop user between > an "OK" user experience and "wonderful" user experience. This topic has already been beaten to death on this list before you raised it again. We did have beagle in the default install in FC6 and it was decided to take it out for F7. Please be so kind as to search the archives or at least read the Fedora Weekly News: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FWN/Issue88#head-7fdee0a1251926827abf631c707a2dadcb25ea10 BTW: If you speak German I suggest you search for beagle @ fedoraforum.de: 37 hits and 35 of them are complainants. > * Tomboy installed by default > - I have all the same arguments here as I do for Beagle and Deskbar deskbar and tomboy might be worth discussing, but I don't think many people are using them.

Really? I have been installing computers with fedora for a while now and giving them to my customers. _No_one_ has ever asked me how to burn CDs/DVDs. I have to admit that starting rhythmbox to burn audio discs is not really intuitive but it works. So IMO we shouldn't add duplicate functionality to the default install.
