The automated chmodding uses 0766 for all files and 0777 for directories,
this is the standard chmodding - custom CHMOD setting for single files may
differ.

See above - this is the only problem with PHP - again this is the reason why
SAFE_MODE-enabled webservers are mostly not able to use the NetInstaller.

This is "just" an self-extracting installer, not an file manager suite (at
the moment)
