Hi Israel, Jack and all other toriosadores,

* New tarball *

It is nice to read about the new tarball. The next iso to download is
coming closer :-)

* Internet connection *

If the network will not find eth1 automatically, it is important that
the manual steps are explained well in a text, that is found by a new
user, maybe via a pop-up message, if the internet is not automatically
connected.

* Automounting *

It is important that the manual steps are explained well in a text, how
to install a program with standard automounting facilities, like
pcmanfm/thunar/nautilus. Alongside that, I suggest that we recommend the
installation of a '*ubuntu-restricted-extras' metapackage for codecs,
DVD, flashplugin etc.

Best regards
Nio
