1 Can someone comment on why I do or do not want to include config files
2 when making quickpkg files?

4 Seems like there is the issue of hand edits being saved which would be
5 a good reason to keep them. I'm not overly worried about someone
6 stealing them and getting access to settings, but I can see that might
7 be a good reason not to.

9 If I don't save them and then after a crash want to use binary
10 packages to get a machine running quickly it seems like I'd want to
11 include everything I could.

13 What would the more experienced user do for the single-user desktop type user?

15 Thanks,
16 Mark
