This plugins is nothing else than a front-end to the nice S3Slider jQuery plugin that lets you:

2. Set the size, order and timeout of the slider;
3. Edit a text to be shown on each image;

S3Slider can be seen in action here.

2. Extract `s3slider.zip` and upload the folder `s3slider` to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory;
3. Activate the plugin through the `Plugins` menu in WordPress
4. Place something like this in your templates:

<?php if (function_exists(s3slider_show())) { s3slider_show(); } ?>

Warning: Upgrading this plugin to 0.04 requires the existing table to be removed, so the plugin will create a new one.
