Yes, although you can simply press the Enter key to finish the script (step 6). > Also, the machine was running Edubuntu ?? Yes, although that's an incomplete answer. The machine was installed as an Ubuntu server with the Ubuntu-dekstop, Kubuntu-desktop, and Edubuntu-desktop installed. You'll notice on bootup that it uses the Kubuntu splash screen. All that means is that you have the choice of running Gnome or KDE with all the educational features of Edubuntu. > But, the shortcut was there on the desktop and everything ran OK. > > Thanks, by the way, for having the foresight to have a backup of the > disk image, in addition to backups of the scripts used. At some point in the near future we will probably want to create a new ShopServer as fallback for when the current machine craps out. I believe we have the parts to do this: a PIII+ machine, a 10/100 NIC, a FireWire card, a large (40+ GB) drive to hold the images. We should also probably be thinking about creating a fallback machine for the mini-server that's acting as our DHCP, ssh, ntp, http, and squid-proxy server as well as the backup for the website. Unfortunately, I can't work on either of those projects right now. But if anyone else wants to, I'd be happy to guide them. Regards, - Robert
