I'm not saying that's a bad idea, but there are many things besides
logging that are in postgresql.conf that are not set during the install
process. I suggest spending some time and learning it as well as
possible.

for sure the installer should not be a complete configuration tool - that
would be a different beast (and it looks like pgAdmin will go there). But
server logging is *vital*, as it's the only means to tell you what went
wrong, and allows you to investigate. This will bite many new users, as
they're used look at the eventlog.
Thus my suggestion.
Greetings,
Jörg

well, that's reasonable, but I think the installer could very usefully
set a few of the more important options, including this one.
