I was envisioning a system similar to the old RH-A 5.2 installer...
The default option would simplify installation such that the user need
know practically nothing in order to install a machine. OTOH, the
user could still use the same install program to customize the install
down to choosing the individual packages.
The only reasons I haven't been able to sit down with Sam and talk
about this is that I've been travelling and the first I heard of it
was the email I saw recently (to which I did respond).

PS: As I'm not doing the coding here, I don't expect my requirements
to have much weight.
PPS: We might want to also look ahead towards RedHat 7.
