Quoting "Stoffers, Robert LAC" <Robert.Stoffers at defence.gov.au>:

| I was just taking a look at the install guide and find it rather basic. The
| images are good, but for the most part it doesn't explain anything. For
| example, it doesn't go into enough depth when partitioning hard drives except
| to say "just hit next and don't worry about it" or something along those
| lines. This theme is carried out in other parts of the document too. 
| 
| I think including this document as is would hinder rather then help new users
| install Breezy. Its a good start, but needs a lot of work.

Well, you're right, it doesn't go into any detail, but that was my goal. As the
assumptions note, the user is expected to have backed up data and informed that
all data will be erased. As a result, there is no need to go into more
partitioning detail.

Also, I wrote this guide for non-technical friends and co-workers, whose eyes
would glaze over if any more detail were presented :) Hence the "don't be
intimidated, just continue" approach.

Like I said before, if anyone would like to use the images or any of the text
and incorporate them into another guide, please do so! Just want to help
non-technical users try Ubuntu in all its glory!

Cheers,
Matt Kirchhoff
