I would like to specify some variables (like username, password, initial theme, ...) in 'Create site' form and then use in installed site. How is it possible?
I use CKK fields in site content type to save entered values.

Normally, this would be done through an install profile. Now if you want those *customizeable*, it's harder: you could write a module that would collect those CCK field values and pass them to the backend, which would write them to settings.php. But that's a bit of a hack.

In Drupal 7, the install profiles will be redone so that things like that are possible, I hope it will alleviate the need for us to take care of this stuff.
