'restarting' an aborted edubuntu installation

[Michael Steigerwald]

Hi all,

Thanks to this list, I've made good progress on my dual boot project, but
have encountered a new challenge that merits a forked thread. I think I got
an incomplete edubuntu installation. I'm wondering if I need to start from
scratch, or if there is a way to pick up where I left off.

I was doing a vanilla "Install to hard drive" edubuntu installation, but it
appeared to 'hang' at 50% of 'creating LTSP chroot.' To be safe, I let it
run overnight, and returned to a mostly black screen, with what appeared to
be two white block-cursor rectangles. (At the risk of dating myself, it
reminded me of Pong.)

When I rebooted, the splash screen indicated I had ubunutu (not edubuntu)
installed, started bash, and let me log in as root. This leaves me with two
questions:

   1. What's the best way to find out how much of the edubuntu
   installation I need to finish manually?
   2. Is there a combination of apt-get commands I can use to get
   gnome/KDE loaded so I can finish with a GUI?

TIA
