Haha. How very web two point oh. Make sure you put a "beta" tag on it somewhere then, we have the curves and the big icons, that's all that is needed. </sarcasm!> <serious> Personally I don't like the screenshot of the boot menu. It doesn't serve a purpose. That space would be better used having a screenshot of something cool or a picture of the booted live environment with a browser open and a movie playing whilst the ubiquity installer is installing to the hard disk! :) Unlikely that someone would do that of course, but the fact is you _can_ with ubuntu :) > 'Install' comments: > I am becoming aware from the forum that some newbies and some > established users too are not exactly clear about what the default > initial menu options are for install partitioning for dual boot with > windows.

"Ubuntu is easy to install.. make sure you backup.. if you're using a 6.06 CD this happens.. if 7.04 something else etc etc". I'd keep that to the documentation on the wiki/help sites. > I expect the leaflet refers to 7.04 (?) and I am not sure as I sit > here exactly what 7.04 says for default and or for guided > partitioning. Maybe someone can help clarify. I would stick to generalisations. "You can install ubuntu and windows side by side", "you can resize your existing partition", "you can install over the top of windows" - all of which are true without going into the minute detail of how you do it.
