How about add one question: "Automatically start all daemons: [Y/n]"
If they answer yes, then no questions. If they answer no, ask as many
questions as you want. :)
Of course, the downside of this particular question is ... not *all* daemons
should be automatically started. Some require configuration before being
started. Perhaps a change of wording would improve my question.
fwiw, $.02.
