Hi,
I'd like to express my concerns about this component installing 80 or so new members (authors!) to my site during the install of the core.
Luckily it was just happened on a localhost install, but this would absolutely trigger a big alarm bell if it would happen on a live site.
Though I understand you might want to install "sample data" ... it is NOT DONE to add stuff to core tables, especially not if the consent of the webmaster is not asked prior to installation.
Furthermore, the other sample information that is added, should also be an option, as it is not part of the components, but of the content.

Jurgen,
Thank you for this bug report. You are right that it is a bug, and we will work on fixing it. Initially this functionality was intended to be a feature (as explained in the included README.txt, but it needs to be fixed as you recognize.
