I don't think anyone would ever argue that we shouldn't be intergrity
checking boot media (or at least presenting the option); while I never
considered it a pain point, I guess I could see a new user getting confused
and giving up. Maybe the solution is to have the FIRST menu a user sees be
"boot or install", and *then* ask whether or not to check the cd for defects
(before any booting or installing happens). That way, the user at least
knows that the cd check is a normal part of the process; that they are on
the right track.

Thoughts?

  As I found out iso-testing prior to Lucid Beta 1 the Live CD now requires
user interaction to display menu options:


Michael Forrest, cc'd, is the right person to chat with about the install CD
experience. Michael, could you reply on-list for everyone's benefit?

There are two important reasons for this change.
1. To create a consistent look-and-feel across the entire Live CD /
Installation experience
2. To distill the options presented to an Ubuntu newcomer down to the one
real decision: 'Try Ubuntu' or 'Install Ubuntu'

Thanks
