OK, I like the option at install time but doing it post install should be OK 
too.  However, this "change" should be mentioned in the RELEASE-NOTES which 
it does not appear to be (at least where I looked under installation).

It might also be nice if there was an option under firstboot to take invoke 
the package installer to do this.
