I was thinking of maybe using the artwork from the preview edition,
would that cause Canonical a problem?  If not could someone say where
the relevant images are stored on the CD.

I know for a fact that the virtually naked people on the splash screen

Single Parents Action Network.

Keep up the sterling work,
