I kept tinkering around, and have a couple of new slideshow mockups and a
grand idea.

Instead of using all that space on the Ubuntu LiveCD to build WebKit into
the Ubiquity installer, just to have a slideshow, why not just build an
old-fashioned image slideshow, using .jpeg slides?  That way, even if the
slides themselves take up more memory, the whole slideshow would certainly
take up much less memory just by ditching WebKit.  Going this route, would
also mean we could design really nice looking slides, and focus on visual
appeal, and conveying simple, easy to understand messages.  Just a thought.
Anyhow, please take a look at my latest slide mockups, and let me know what
you think:

Thanks.
