It would be good, but generally just leads to frustration, in my experience=

If we're installing for someone who's computer literate it's not too bad,
but constantly having to spell stuff out takes a lot of patience.

Maybe we could compromise as much of the install process might be done via
coaching, then the installee could be turned over to a customization
team.
