I Only have a question! Have you ever seen a Phpbb install Site (think no)

On this site you can enter the DB name, pw, Site, name and some other
things, yet we must edit the config file for those things i think more ppl want to
use opendb if they dont have to do some thing manually (i dont know a better
word i mean editing files with a editor)

And another question will there ever be the chance that a "admin" can select
the Types of media at the installing? (i think some user havent VHS or DVD's
in their opendb so they dont want it and they must edit the DB manually. I
think a menu for the type of Media is a good idea (with MP3's, Book's, Games etc)
and a php script to build a own Type like (cars or, Phones, Girls or
something ppl can share every thing that they want and you cant build a sql file for
all things so its better that Users can build their own example:

Whats the name of the category?
[Insert Name]
Is there a Image nedded in the Category ?
[YES] [NO]
Is there a Quality Rating needed in the Category?
[YES] [NO]
Is the Category a "Type" how a language is Needed?
[YES] [NO]
Insert the atributes of the Category:
1:[EXPL] Color ?
 a:[EXPL] RED
 b:[EXPL] Green
 c:[EXPL] YELLOW
 d:[EXPL] [Not used]
 e:[EXPL] [Not used]

2:[EXPL] PS ?
 a:[EXPL] 120ps
 b:[EXPL] 100ps
 c:[EXPL] [Not used]
 d:[EXPL] [Not used]
 e:[EXPL] [Not used]


-A lot of <snip> questions after:-

Creat the Media Category (Create a SQL File that you can install at your DB
Backup all Data!!! This Category cant be removed yet maybe in the future:
[Create]  [NO IM not So crazy]

.... I think i better not tell you about a Admin panel ^^
