General reminder: when you're at the "first launch" step, you're
already beyond the point of adding installation wide content.  You're
some student in some class that is annoyed at their sysadmins not

working on public machines that are getting wiped on every logout.  Or
you're a sysadmin that gets annoyed at the fact that the need to
interact with the installer.
