FWIW, I think that "post-installation script" is fine. First, it is self-explaining, and second, it can contribute to educate newbies (not at all pejorative). This is what I consider an important positive aspect of the Linux user experience[1] compared to the Windows one: usually, software authors don't assume users are dumb and therefore don't hide the reality. By regularly using the system and showing a minimum of curiosity, you become more and more knowledgeable. Just my 2 cents. [1] Well, at least the Debian one. -- Florent
