That looks good from here.

Hi Charlie

Thank you the feedback.

    Are we re-writing all test cases?


Hopefully, yes.

    In the midst of this, I would hope we will also explain the
    differences when
    testing. For example, Ubuntu, one waits for "Try Ubuntu" "Install
    Ubuntu" to appear. In Xubuntu, one selects from the CD menu
    directly to
    try or install.

I'd just like to point out here that the installation for Xubuntu is a *seperate* test case. No-one should ever be attempting to explain the differences in behavior of two different systems in one test case.



Of course, this should be reflected in a specific test case. If it's not, it's a "bug"
in a test case from my point of view and should be fixed.
