HI :) Ahah, then +1 I like the idea of making use of the user-level choice. Also i hadn't thought about the installer needing Admin (SuperUser to you Gnu&Linux people ;) ).
I'm still struggling with the other side of this = how to set things for all users on a machine. Someone managed to stop his machine from being able to read Gifs and each time someone new logs in i have to right-click and fix. Also with Firefox updates/upgrades people grumble about all the extra tabs they get informing them about all their add-ons. So, while i need something opposite i do like it when people take an interest in configuring things to their own tastes (as long as it doesn't stuff-up everyone else but then LO wouldn't). When people show me what they like i often learn.
