Hi everybody! We are working on the lubuntu manual project[1][2] and we are looking for volunteers to work on this new project, you dont have to be a "guru" about Lubuntu to be part of this project :D only you have to know about manage the system, install applications and customize the desktop.

William, I would say that the video would be a pain because Ubuntu is used around the world and the video would have to be painstakingly be made in many languages. The pop-up with the check-box would be the way to go its not intrusive or anything and it wouldn't be too hard to add. On Oct 25, 2013

Dear all, In my opinion the pop-up is a great idea. Also, The youtube video is a good idea but what if people don't have internet. I also think that if we add a check-box to the pop-up so that the user understands what they’re doing. That will cause them to stop and read what is there. This may hel

William, I am with you. But still "remove windows" leaves the would-be ubuntu user to think that there may be a way to put it back later... Perhaps "remove windows and all your files completely - they cannot be recovered except possibly from whatever backup you have" would be better. On 2013-10-24

Hi, There is a warning however, it is not emphasized enough. One will never prevent the non tech users from doing bad mistakes, however in the installer, if the line saying "warning it will delete..." would be in bold characters it would show better. Regards, Mélodie On Thu, 24 Oct 2013 22:03
