Could someone seriously consider providing this option on priority, 
pretty please.

As someone who tries to help to support some 283 remote linux users in my part
of Australia, some of which are up to 600km from where I live and 
with some wierd
mixes, being able to just tell them to run an installation for "nn1" 
or "nn2" for a new
or upgraded machine would just save me such a lot of time, both in 
talking them
through it or having to go visit.

thanks in advance
scsijon
