Ok,  there a couple of problems with this approach.
* Firstboot is not available for non-graphical installations.  Could be 
solvable using a first login wizard
* The installer has been in general very easy to understand and follow. 
These type of questions are not easily understood by end users to make 
good choices on what to do.  Might be better to just choose the "best" 
option as default  and push these choices  into a advanced section/ 
provide them with documentation and a easy way to change the options 
after the installation is complete.

Rahul
