But ... you're given a chance to indicate whether these things
are turned on or not during the install process. You can now
go into linuxconf and toggle them pretty easily as well.
If anything, I think that it might be helpfull to explain what all
of the different options are during the install process so people
have an idea of what they are looking at.
