If you've got one of those Macs that will allow you to also boot into
Windoze, you could copy all the photos you want for your slide show into
"My Pictures" and set your screensaver to a slide show. Add a password
to the screen saver & your guests won't easily disrupt it.

I don't want a slideshow file. I just want to point the image viewer
at a directory of photos, or select a bunch of photos and have it
show them in a slideshow.
There's going to be a party at my house this weekend, and I'd
like to run a slideshow of some of my better photos on my macbook
pro. I'm not particularly enamored of preview, though it sort of
works, and I despise iPhoto. What I want is program that I can
print to a directory, or directory tree, of jpegs, and have it
cycle through them. I'd like to be able to set the rate, and
choose whether to play in random order, or whatever order they're
in the directories.
And, as with everything these days, I don't want to pay for it.
Back when Linux was my primary desktop, there were several image
viewing programs that would do this, but with advanced CRS, I
don't remember their names, and there are, of course, twenty
seven million or so programs with "image" or "view" in their name
under Linux.
