Better split between installationand administration

Trying to combine steps forless clicks

Normal installation will create a desktop similar to Live install

Once you're online, you're prompted to:

Register Update-Repository

Do Online Update

Register Community Repositories (build service) Download additional software as you like

Administration tasks are no longer part of installation

Open ssh port

Configure remote printer

Set custom host name

All defaults are still done, e.g. local hardware detected
