Hello, edubuntu developers, This query probably belongs with the regular Edubuntu listserv but maybe someone here will kindly explain what is probably obvious to most. I currently have a dual boot system with SUSE on the master harddrive and Ubuntu on the slave harddrive, a system which was working well until: I tried to replace the Ubuntu OS with Edubuntu, using the Edubuntu 6.06 installation disk. In updating other LINUX systems (Redhat, Fedora, various versions), I have been informed at the beginning ot the installation process that there are other OS's in place and did I want to replace/update the LINUX OS. In the case of Edubuntu, I got no such message and in fact, when I kept the installation going until it reached a repartition stage and then backed out, I discovered that while the SUSE system was intact, I could not get a normal login into Ubuntu.
After numerous attempts to "install" xwindow packages with aptitude, I now still have a non-functioning ubuntu system. I can work in the command line mode with no problems (obviously, since only that way could I use aptitude) but cannot get the GUI to function properly. Does anyone have a suggestion for 1. making my Ubuntu system work again. 2. Better: replace my former Ubuntu system with the Edubuntu 6.06 system. I really want to do this to check out some features I want to use in an international school network. Is there some reason the Edubuntu 6.06 install disk does not give an update option? Looking forward to your wisdom, Ralph M.
