another attempt at trying to use the list... *crosses fingers*

[Colin Applegate]

I uncomment universe just to allow easy installation of educational
software from universe... all the packages critical to LTSP I believe
are in the main repository.

Twm is actually not required. At first I thought it would be required
by LTSP but it seems that its not from playing with my box here...
perhaps I should remove that one item.

I want to automate the LTSP configuration process. The idea is the
teacher has to click as little as humanly possible to get a stable
Edubuntu LTSP server up.

Thanks for your input!
