I think it's great. Now to make sure everyone sees it and reads it first!

When people first install Ubercart, they have no idea what all the modules do and what features they will want. So, telling them to enable any optional modules they need is a little confusing - how do they know which ones they'll need? I think this has been part of the complaint about the installation process - you have to do too much research before you install. So one thing I would recommend is to just TELL them what to install, and make the list cover as much as possible. If they don't need those features, they can uninstall them when they learn more, but it's best to start out with a feature-complete install so you won't be continually dealing with questions like "how do I add images to my products" etc.

Perhaps a choice of "full install", "minimal install", and "custom install" like you frequently see with Windows install wizards. "Full install" would be the default, the other two would be for more knowledgeable users. Taking it further, you could even have install profiles for various types of stores, so for example a T-shirt shop would have a set of modules, a mp3 download store would have a different set, etc. What would be great is if, in exchange for the free publicity, all the Live Sites postings were *required* to enter the modules they used, then this information would be available and displayed with the thread to serve as documentation and examples for everyone.
