I have 90 recycled computers I need to setup using Edubuntu.
There are several apps to install that are not in any repository
I know of.  So I have to install them the old fashioned way.
But I don't want to do it 90 times.  So I need to copy the
disk image after I have done all the installs.

The kernel does an nice job of reconfiguring itself depending
on exactly what hardware it finds when it boots.

But X just says, I couldn't start, would you like to look
at the log file and figure out how to fix the configuration?

Older versions of X on other platforms, had a program to
probe the hardware and generate a config file.  The 
Edubuntu installer does this nicely, so there is probably
one semewhere but I can't find it.

Thanks
Drew
