OK, OK! <grumble> <grumble>  ;-)

Well, why not put it it in the first boot configuration with a default 
to "No" and an explanation that it is only recommended for personal, 
home computers? As I've said, 90% of the users are going to want to use 
this functionnality, but the newbies won't even KNOW it is possible if 
you don't give them the choice.  This isn't for me personnaly, it is for 
/them/...

Anyway, I'll shut up now - if I can't convince the developers that this 
is worth it it is not like *I* will do anything about it ;-)...

Thanks,
