Status in Ubuntu Manual: Fix Committed

Bug description:
On p. 13 you step the user through running the Live CD, ending with a restart back into their usual operating system. This is great because it teaches that the Live CD is safe and has no effect on the existing system. 

Then, on p. 14 you move on to actually installing Ubuntu, from the beginning with a fresh restart. However you leap from restarting the computer straight to choosing a time zone on the world map, missing several important points along the way:

1) that first you must get the Live CD running, as explained on p.13; 
2) then you must click on the "Install Ubuntu 10.04" icon on the Desktop; 
3) then you must deal with the Welcome screen, choosing your language.  

Only at this point does the world map show up, which is where you dived straight in. That would confuse anyone's grandmother.
