Nice leaflet!

'Install' comments:
I am becoming aware from the forum that some newbies and some 
established users too are not exactly clear about what the default 
initial menu options are for install partitioning for dual boot with 
windows. IIRC the option (a?) is 'Take over whole disk'  this *looks* 
like a complete erase of windows..... Although I think it then leads 
to a windows re-size (7.04). I think either 6.06 or 6.10 or both *did* 
actually have a complete windows erase as default (!) because a 
cautious newbie I helped mentioned it. I say these things because to a 
real newcomer with a windows to keep and worry about such details are 
very important.

I expect the leaflet refers to 7.04 (?) and I am not sure as I sit 
here exactly what 7.04 says for default and or for guided 
partitioning. Maybe someone can help clarify.  In the event the few 
install words on the leaflet need to be honed to suit, hopefully not 
too vague, and information to assist confidence and reassurance if 
possible.
