Hello:

It's a great idea to use the "Live-CD" as a method of promoting Ubuntu to users of other operating systems.

Why does the "Live-CD" have any questions at all and just boot up into the Ubuntu Desktop and then be done with it.

An Icon on the Desktop that says something like "Install Ubuntu Now", should let people that it hasn't been installed yet.

If someone already knows that they what to install Ubuntu, then they need to get an "Installation CD". Which is the one that should ask questions, like "Start Ubuntu in Live Mode", "Install Ubuntu", "Check Memory", "Repair Broken Installation" . . . .

People don't need to think about options if they never seen Ubuntu in the first place. When they load it in computer that is running Windows have it tell them that it will not hurt there computer and all the have to do is restart and enjoy.
