"Installing and removing software" had some flaws:
Add/Remove program failed for some reason and focus was moved from "how to install", to wild stabs in the dark. Eventually the software got installed (btw. isn't Firefox already included in a base (K)Ubuntu install?). Overall confusing.
Suggestions on how to improve:
- If the Add/Remove isn't working due to a freak accident, do the instruction video tomorrow instead when the net/repos/update/whatever is OK.
- Use a fully updated system (the systray indicated available updates), or show how it is done and that all software is updated by this.
- Use Add/Remove, much easier than going through 100 results for "java" in Adept ... "uh, I think it's maybe this one we want"
- Demonstrate the ability to queue several applications for installation when hitting apply.
- Show that the application ended up in the menu, ready to run.
- Explain that only applications most users want are available in Add/Remove, and that Adept accesses not only those but also thousands of libraries.
- Explain that only one package manager at a time can be used.
- Max 5 minutes long.
