Suggestion for easier post-install config esp. dialup users

[S.W.B]

Hopefully, you wouldn't even have to read the HOWTO!  :-)  You could just run 
an executable script that, instead of telling you what to do, would do it for 
you.  No real programming requred- BASH scripts are so easy that even I can 
do it.  Many users are too frustrated with searching for instructions and 
downloading programs and editing text files, that they probably wouldn't 
read/follow even the clearest HOWTO.  I'm thinking of a method where you 
would 1) install Ubuntu as normal and then 2) Download/Install  
Ubuntu-extras.deb and then 3) sudo sh ./make_it_work.sh and they would have a 
quickly configured system ready for almost anything.
