[HLUG] speakers for ISFD

Good point, I hadn't thought of the practicality of bringing machines to 
an 'Install Meeting'.

Is there any mileage in making a little 'package insert' to go into the 
12.04 give aways. It could contain three sections 1. Checking (and 
setting BIOS) to enable boot from live CD, 2. Full installation with 
emphasis on the partitioning sequence and its significance, 3. 
Installation and connection set-up for a Web Browser.

Supported by a few key screen-shots and cook-book text this should get 
someone to a self-supporting state.
