Slideshow changes ?

[Phill Whiteside]

Hi Aere,

In the section 'Get Lubuntu' [1] we do actively encourage people with low
resource computers to use the Alternate install. The alternate install does
not require usage of terminal and is akin to a GUI (Slide Show) install but
without the 'pretty pictures'.

Regards,

Phill.
