Thanks for the suggestions and I did finally check the archives. I
think I agree with Ralf Habacker that there should be preset configurations
that we can just click to install on a "new" machine. I would wish for some
preset configurations like:
SELECT ONE OR MORE CONFIGURATIONS AND ONLY ONE SNAPSHOT:
--------------------------------------------------------
user
previous
current
experimental
developer
previous
current
experimental
administrator
previous
current
experimental
Just a suggestion that I think would make a user's life a little
easier. What do you think?

Great. Thats means there could be a new category named "configurations" or
so
containing all the dummy tarballs with related dependencies.
