The key to all of this is a hands off operation. The boot process when
the "picture frame" is turned on should be fairly quick and to like this:

- Boot the OS
- Run a full screen slideshow of the pictures in a particular directory.
Random order, preferred I think.

So, once the user presses the on button, they need only wait a minute or
two for the slides to start rotating.

Thanks for another pointer. I'll investigate it's capabilities as I proceed.
