Definitely! But it should have some sort of "This is my first database
installation"-mode, which means, that either only some very basic questions
(or none at all) are asked, or each question is followed by a reasonable
default value and a "if unsure, press <ENTER>" message. Otherwise the first
time user might get scared of all those questions...
