Here's a shot at it.

On the first step, it adds:

You can pick a set of accounts here that seem close to your needs and 
easily modify it in the future.

GNUCash lets you add, rename, modify, and remove accounts, even once 
transactions have been entered. You will also be able to add 
sub-accounts, as well as move accounts (along with their sub-accounts) 
from one parent to another.


I'm mixed on if it is needed on the select categories step as well, but 
it was suggested, so I also modified the text there to read:

Select categories that correspond to the ways that you think you will 
use GnuCash. Each category you select will cause several accounts to be 
created.

Accounts can be added, renamed, moved, or deleted, even after you start 
using GNUCash.
