Greetings, Thank you for the quick response. I will try the server install again. I appreciate the work that is being done. My point of view is basically of a teacher using the product for the first time. I was hoping to have a test lab up and running with the edubuntu o.s. before the school year was over (6/12). so as to get some feedback from the students on the different applications available. So, forgive me if my urgency for information comes across anything less than professional.
Thanks again for the work and quick responses.

I've done it quite a few times. You pop in the disk and it should ask you if you want to install the software. For more info see the Edubuntu Handbook at http://doc.ubuntu.com/edubuntu/handbook/C/ch02s03.html which is also installed with Edubuntu in the Gnome Help Center. The normal mode of installation for Edubuntu is the Classroom Server CD, which allows you to do either a standalone workstation install or LTSP server install. With either of these if you put in the Classroom Server Add-on CD you will be able to install all the old educational programs we've had in the past plus some additional software we added for Feisty. Another thing to note is that this is the first time in Ubuntu that we've tried to do a 2nd CD. It caused the Desktop CD issue that is the subject of this bug report. These will be fixed in Gutsy (7.10) and I'm working on making the add-on CD installation more user-friendly. Keep in mind that Edubuntu is developed by one Canonical employee (Oliver) and a handful of volunteers like me. We try our best, but we need people to test stuff like this more before releases for obvious reasons. If we had been aware of the issue and able to fix it before release we certainly would have. We've documented the Add-on CD in the Edubuntu Handbook, and we've changed the wording on the Download page on edubuntu.org. In the mean time you can certainly suggest using the Desktop CD from Edgy (6.10) or Dapper (6.06) if somebody wants to use a LiveCD. The Classroom Server in Feisty is the recommended installation method and is fine as far as I can tell. -- Edubuntu Feisty Desktop CD install doesn't install the education suite https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/113719 You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber of the bug. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Boardwalk for $500?
