Has there been any thought given to removing the server pieces from the=20=

installer?  Even if it worked, it seems to me that 2 installers, one=20
for the client and one for the server, would be better.  99% of the=20
installs are going to be clients, not servers, so a client only=20
installer would be easiest for most users.

I've noticed a tendency for "Power Users" to decide that the options=20
which weren't checked by default must be the things that turn on the=20
cool features, so they just check everything (the 'default' power user=20=

config if you will).

If I'm an AFS cell admin, I really don't mind grabbing a separate=20
installer for the server.
Granted, it's extra work when building the installer(s).  I'm not=20
familiar yet with the install building tool you're using, so I don't=20
know how much extra work it would entail.  I'll be digging into this=20
anyways, since we're going to need a customized installer for our site,=20=

so if there is interest in this I can help out.
