Hi,

All that can be solved in one two 'very' simple steps:

1- Create a YouTube Video that explains in details HOWTO Install Ubuntu
with all the possible cases
2- Add a link for that YouTube Video right next to the Download Link so
those who download Ubuntu or any flavour can 'watch' and 'learn' how to
install the system

Time is money and saving time is a very important factor in just 6 months
cycle :)

Just a very quick thought!
