Installation of Educational Packages

[Asif Lodhi]

Hello

I want to give a Ubuntu 5.10 CD to my nephew who is studying in 4th
grade.  On Fedora Core 3, I have some educational packages but I think
(I do _not_ really know - I am not sure) that those educational
packages are only for KDE.

Is there any way I can download the educational softwares _separately_
and install them on his Ubuntu computer without using _any_
net-connected automatic download/install facility.  Will I have to do
./configure/make/install?

I didn't find gcc on my 5.10 distribution.

The reason I get shivers at the thought of downloading EduBuntu is
that I am on a dial-up connection and the Internet speed is not that
good!

TIA,

Asif
