Depending on how streamlined you want the installation to be, here is 
something to consider

http://en.revilinux.org/2007/09/ark-linux-h2o-20071.html

Single click installation. A single screen asks for language, keyboard 
and timezone settings and off you go. Two users created by default
(root and normal) and both with passwords disabled and autologin is 
enabled by default for the normal user. You can set passwords post 
installation if necessary.  They use a module that allows you to run 
administration tools without the root password. This seems like Policy 
Kit with permissive settings.

A potential enhancement would be to preselect a timezone and keyboard 
settings based on geoip but still allow the user to customize it if 
necessary.
