Diskdrake is a bad idea. as :
1�/ will show partition 
2�/ too complicated for this.

a wizard is better. you have several choice ( format, configure, install
some apps ) and the user dig through the wizard and select what he want

nice idea but what about drakfont and others tools ?
another idea is to display a page with task oriented admin entries, the
users should say during installation if he want to see this wizard as in
a networked environment, the sysadmin will not appreciate if the user
see this when they will be first connected.

Unfortunately I never use win2k3, but really mdk need something like
this. They have good config but many people don't know they exist or
what to do with.

And the pb is that when an user don't have internet connection working
he had to boot to windows to ask help, etc ... Internet connecting
should really be a must work thing.
