Or even a later version - quite possibly.

I did essentially that today on an Ubuntu computer at the school by installing
edubuntu-desktop
which brought in nearly everything else, perhaps not the artwork and the docs -
I'll have to check.
One interesting problem which someone might be able to fix:
Several of the packages installed were for lilypond, a music scripting
utility I've
used for some time. I'm not sure why they were included since they take
quite a
bit of space. Anyway, during the installation, there was a problem
with the
lilypond-data package. Afterwards I asked to remove all the lilypond
packages which
was done except for the lilypond-data package again. I've tried several
times to remove
that package several times since but the problem persists. This is a
15Meg file I'd really
like to clean out.
Best, Ralph
