Hmm... It is easy to convert each image to PDF, e.g., with

$ for i in *.jpg; do convert -resize 1024x768 $i ${i%.*}.pdf; done

or similar, but you want to create a presentation...

I guess my first thought will be to create a prosper
(http://prosper.sourceforge.net/) file and an awk (perl,
python - your choice) script to get a list of files and make a slide
stanza for each image inside the prosper source. Then just compile the
prosper file and you've got your PDF. But that's just me...

By the way, another simple way to display a slideshow on Linux/X is

$ display -delay 8 *.jpg

or similar (display(1) is a part of ImageMagick).
