Hi Dylan I stand corrected... kind of. :o) I haven't installed Ubuntu from the Desktop icon since my first install of Feisty and I forgot that what you say *is* possible until I was reminded by Colin's reply. The only thing I can think of in this case is to set a flag depending on where the install was started from, then displaying one of 2 slides with or without the "explore" line. If this proves to be too time consuming a fix my feeling is that it would be better to drop the line altogether. >From my experience, that may or may not be typical, the person most likely to use this feature is a first time user. Since the explore only works from the desktop install icon, and then only if a person's computer is fast enough, there is too much room for confusion that could poison a first impression of Ubuntu. I think most people will, as I did, try the Live CD session, then not worry about it after the install has started. My 2 cents, Roy P.S. A possibility is to change the line to something like - "If you started the install from the Desktop then you can continue exploring Ubuntu during the install."
