I think in order to do this and rebrand it as a demo kit, you need to make
new graphics for:
1) boot screen
2) about app
3) installer app
4) desktop background
Here's an archive containing blank images of the above with the same
dimensions as the ones used in Haiku...

Would be nice if someone graphically gifted (unlike myself) would use them
to come up with some demo kit artwork...
