1. Have a little "start now" check box on the last page of the installer.
2. supply a command line option that asks geoserver to open localhost:8080/geoserver just after the sever has started

I don't know much about the installer, but the second point on Windows would simply
be run the following command "start http://localhost:8080/geoserver"\.\.\. the only problem
being that it would fail if geoserver is not initialized.

I was thinking of setting a command line -D property when starting tomcat, and then asking GeoServer (once it is set up and listenting) to make the system call to "start localhost:8080/geoserver" if the parameter was there.
