tonyyarussoMenZaLap: , jenda , lotusleaf Re: the welcome thing earlier - what if it was a first-run-only thing for not automatically, nor on the desktop, but the first time they clicked the little "?" icon in the panel that's in Edgy?05:37
jendahey05:37
jendathat's a good idea05:37
tonyyarussoI'll see if I can figure out who to talk to about that05:39
jendaok05:43
MenZaLaphmm05:48
MenZaLapJust a Welcome dialogue on boot, with a small tickbox in the corner that allows you to enable auto showing upon start, or not?05:48
tonyyarussoperhaps05:50
tonyyarussoMaybe it could even be enabled or not with a checkbox in the live CD installer05:51
lotusleaftonyyarusso: sounds cool, especially if it was an optional thing like popularity contest and the kde first time wizard05:52
tonyyarussolotusleaf: Is popcon in the installer?05:53
tonyyarussoI'm also not familiar with KDE's thing - details would be appreciated05:53
somerville32You might look at xubuntu-welcome-centre05:53
lotusleaftonyyarusso: I believe it's installed by default but I don't believe it's on by default, is it? There's an option to disable/enable it though05:53
lotusleaftonyyarusso: I think with the previous release of Ubuntu it was on by default05:54
tonyyarussolotusleaf: Where is the option located?05:54
lotusleafdpkg -l popcon05:54
lotusleaftonyyarusso: hmm.. I forget05:54

somerville32http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/iso-paper.html07:37
jendayep07:37
jendatheoretically, I could go down to $20, but it would be _really_ close, and I'd probably end up in the red because of the currency conversion, transfer and other fees.07:38
jendaSo - the price is $25 for 20, if you want them, drop me a line ;)07:38
