I have been testing today possibility to define own install type - and I have some observation.

One is bug reported at tracker (basic install type is always included so when we create and use own install type we get PHP error - function installer_modules already define in basic.php)

Another observation is about blocks.
I tried to create during installation own block position and add to it new block. Unfortunately - installer_post_install function is executed before default blocks are added. Functions, which adds block start at clearing blocks tables, so there is no posibility to add to installation own blocks.

I didn't report it as bug, because maybe it is intended to be as is now.
But I think, that it is not correct. I think that installer_post_install function should be executed as late as it is possible to give us more possibilities to customise installation.
This should not be difficult to achieve.

Report it as a bug, and ask if it should be feature request... Mark and boys will let you know... there at least it would be better documented.
