InstallFest Installer Technique - was preferred newbie distr…

As a sidebar on Michael's thoughts, would it be reasonable (during the
install process) to have the newbie beat the keys (and control the mouse)
while the installer watched on his/her shoulder explaining the choices
(options) and guiding the process. Would this help instill confidence in
the newbie???

If this is how installs happen at an InstallFest, please recognize that I
have never experienced that part of an InstallFest and ignore this post.
