Cool. Just wanted to be clear.

A very important priority to find this out.

Will it be overall install time divided by 5 - or will the slides loop?

Finding this number should be really, really high on the To Do list!

Indeed.

Good to know. Thanks! Saves a LOT of work.

With due respect, how can you paint a house until you build the walls? 
You need structure. Hence getting a word limit and overall topic for 
each slide first.

You cannot just write words. No writer does this. You start with 
structure - theme and word count.

If the limit is 5 big words and 20 smaller words (for example) that 
dictates everything we are trying to write. It is pointless to come up 
with words without a proper format.

So I'm establishing the order in which this process needs to be tackled, 
if we are being professional. A free-for-all over words is not efficient.

If my help is not wanted, I'll step back quietly. Just let me know!

I'm sorry if this is not correct procedure. I wanted a straight answer 
to some points and I'm getting about 100 emails a day on various Mageia 
subjects. So I did it for "clarity" as labelled in the subject. This is 
a forked sub-subject about organising and I wanted to treat it as such.
