[Live-demo] Live 9.5 desktop image candidate

[Angelos Tzotsos]

Hi Bob,

It seems you experience a problem with the network configuration.
By default the live system network works fine for me behind a DHCP server.

I think we could add some more details about how to configure networking 
in our installation documents in case someone else faces the same issue 
as you do.
I am not sure though about a popup. We already have a popup with generic 
info to the user about where to get help and password file location.

Best,
Angelos

I like the use of stars, and wonder how it would look if you would change the green logo to a translucent white shadow, probably also make the "OSGeo-Live 9.5" text more transparent too. Or maybe even make the stars cluster into the OSGeo logo design.
