Problems with Edubuntu thin client setup in school...

[Leena]

Thanks Jonathan,

Since this is at school server...next time I visit the school lab, I 
will copy those files and attach here as well as to the link you 
mentioned......

When I chose Manual installation(In Edubuntu 11.04 the option was 
'something else'), I new my earlier Edubuntu installation was on sda7 
and 8 so I  deleted those partitions and added, swap(twice the memory 
size) and '/' root to the tables. Pretty routine stuff for partitioning 
that's all.

I will try and install Edubuntu 11.04 again and see if the problem 
persists......

Thanks,
Leena
