</div></div>I think it would be good to have a slide for "here's how you get more stuff"<br>
and possibly "Here's how you get a different web browser" in the feature tour<br>
the runs during the installation. The content of the slide show hasn't<br>
changed in awhile and I think this would be a good improvement.<br>
<br>
That'd be a way to introduce the idea of package management and our tools for<br>
getting/updating packaging.<br>
