I never said (or implied) you couldn't do it. I just assumed that you didn't
have the time...

Why? I, as an administrator, say "no, I don't want to create a database now, I
want to wait". Then I'm perfectly aware that it won't get started after installation.
My choice. If you ask the admin/installer, then we both get what we want. I get
the possibility to install slapd without having to extract and construct the
database, and you can make sure slapd is started after installation. Not at
the same time though :)
Put the question at level 'high', with default to 'yes', and everyone should
be happy.

Well, you don't GAIN much by enforcing you point, you just won't help me
'and that other dude that wanted this' (to lazy to find out who it was :).
But our way (level 'high' etc) will even make US happy, without making
anyone sorry (except you that have to code it :).
