Good points, another format could be used.
A HTML version is my preferred one out of those, the transitions etc.
would not really be essential whereas the interactivity is (IMHO).
Much the same in Knoppix etc.
So, is the general consensus a good one?
As I said before, I thought it would be a nice touch.

Unfortunately, there is no tool to create or play animated SVG (Inkscape
has this on the roadmap, but not in the near future), otherwise SVG
would be ideal for the task.
Another alternative could be to create the introduction in something
like OOo Impress, export as PDF and play it in the default PDF viewer
(this way you can have animated transitions between frames).
And why not use just HTML/CSS/nice graphics/a bit of JavaScript? Or
maybe for smoother graphics, static SVG with working hyperlinks, viewed
in the default browser.
