I'd say the WBStartup drawer is quite nice. Just drag an icon into
it and the icon will be executed when the machine boots. This also
works for script files if they have an icon with default tool=iconx

Second, there is really no need for the user to edit mount lists if
the installation scripts and mountlists are supplied by the developer
of the software. It's not necessary to have all mount list entries
in the same file. Used like: "mount null: from devs:null.mountlist".
