Above all else, query the user for his/her preferences, and coach the
user while making such decisions. Such decisions serve as input to your
list, which seems quite complete to me.

You know what would really be fun? An installer that asks *all* of the
necessary questions right at the front, so you can walk away and do
something else while it installs itself. I find installers that keep
asking me questions every 10 minutes annoying.
