What would be really useful is like in Debian, as you install you can
click a button to take screen shots of each step,

this would make things much easier, (unless you are using something like
vmware) to produce illustrations for installs.

I had to alter lubuntu so the screen dump grab program comes up when
pressing print-screen, but also allow the user to then manually grab the
required window.

But saying that, if that could somehow come from the top down, so as we
are all based on Ubuntu which in turn is based on Debian,  then perhaps
if added to ubuntu then it could filter down.

Would that make documentation easier ?
