Unfortunately the Edubuntu Live CD's aren't available anymore. Ubuntu has grown to the point where it has become plenty of work to ensure that it fits on a single CD when shipped, which means that software already has to be removed to accommodate any educational software that may be added for Edubuntu. Also, LTSP has become incredibly simple to install with a default Ubuntu system, so much so that it isn't necessary for a dedicated installation disc if you want to install an LTSP classroom. Taking these two factors into account, Edubuntu became an add-on disc to Ubuntu, allowing more software and translations to be shipped. Previously, the Ubuntu LiveCD and the Edubuntu LiveCD were probably more than 90% identical. That's not very efficient or "green" as they would say these days. Fortunately, there's a partial solution to the problem. You can use the "Create USB startup disk" function from the System Administration menu to create a Live USB disk from the Live CD. Then, you can boot to that disk and set up a unionfs where changes to the livecd is written to another partition on the usb disk. You can then proceed to install the add-on CD on the usb flash disk and use that as a demo. I know it's a bit more work and not ideal for your situation, but it might be a workaround for now. -Jonathan -- edubuntu-users mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/edubuntu-users
