    It's not really a secret, first put the pics you want to use into a folder and put that folder in the 'pictures' folder (really it can be anywhere but this will make it easy to find)

    Then run System Preferences

    choose Desktop & Screensaver >> Desktop

    Click the '+' symbol underneath the folders list, navigate to the folder you made earlier. You should see the pics you want to use in your slideshow in the preview window.

    Check the box that says 'Change Picture' and choose an interval from the pulldown menu and there's your slideshow.
