It should be trivial to parse this file during the user_installation step. If the tile-cache-size is set, use the value and skip the extra dialog. If we document this even sysadmins that use binary packages have a chance to set a default value globally. However, I will certainly not find the time to hack this in the next weeks... Salut, Sven
