I think this is exactly a reason to do it automatically for those user
who don't know, at least in the extent possible

You'll find me heartily agree if it's about gentoo and people ricing
gedit. But the kernel is another matter IMHO. On an old laptop of mine
(AMD K6, but still perfectly usable) it makes the difference between
being able to watch videos or not.

I haven't checked, maybe it does this already, but couldn't the CD
installer do it at least if an online connection is available, to pull
the correct kernel from the net? Without a net connection, it could
maybe give instructions to the user (possibly in a post-install phase
when X is already there). 

Kind regards,
