Some other things that should probably be changed: xchat has a default server 
List group called 'Debian Servers', which automatically has the #debian 
channel listed. I'm guessing this too needs to be changed. It also starts 
with the default server (highlighted) as the 'ChatJunkies' server group, with 
an auto-join for #xchat, so perhaps we could change that too.

Mozilla should probably be pre-loaded with a few choice Ubuntu bookmarks as 
well.

IMHO, there really should be a a 'Home' icon/folder in the 'Computer' icon off 
the desktop.

And just to test the cdrom stuff, I chucked in the Ubuntu disk, and noticed 
that there is a 'debian' symlink in the top level dir that points to the 
current dir. Is it necessary that this symlink be called 'debian'? Could it 
perhaps be 'ubuntu'?

Also, in the cdrom under doc/install/ is what appears to the the standard 
debian install guides for sarge, which of course need to be changed.

Seems that all html documents are set to open by default with gedit, instead 
of with a web browser like Mozilla. This makes looking at documentation on 
disk/cdrom a pain for a new user.

Noticed that there doesn't seem to be a CD Burner application.

The 'CD Player' app doesn't start for me wether I have a data or audio cd in 
the drive.

Right clicking on the CD-ROM icon and selecting 'Eject' does not actually 
eject the disk, just unmounts it.

The Firefox window is just a bit bigger than the space between the top and 
bottom bars, so that the status stuff down the bottom is covered.

Nothing else I can see at the moment.
