Comment 1 for bug 124825

I agree with this idea. The boot time on the live-cd does take a long time, and it would be a great time to inform the user of some basics. The live-cd is often the first time that people get to see Ubuntu, which is another good reason to inform them of the basics.

Here is an idea of what could be included:

First, an explanation of what a Live-CD is (temporary, running in memory, no hard drive changes, slower than normal installation).

Second, some basics about what Ubuntu is (free software) and what it can do (internet, office application, games, collaboration, email, thousands of applications to choose from).
