[Cooker] Kernel choice at install

What about asking the user which kernel he wants to install, during install process ? Now we have 11 kernels. Maybe it could be nice to ask (perhaps in expert mode only ?) : have you 1GB RAM or less, 4GB RAM, one or several processors and let the installer pick-up the good one (after

I have noticed in some forums a very classical error made by newbies when they installed Mdk 9.1 : sometimes they miss the X configuration. After package installation, there is a table with all devices that need to be configured, especially, tv card, modem and most importantly the X server.
