Finally, all is well in my PC Classroom! I did not need SAGE CDs or 
SAGE ISOs in a bootable partition after all.

Actually, I reinstalled all my Desktops using the 32bit Ubuntu 10.10 
CD. Then I added the 32bit SAGE binary and wrote an executable script 
to start SAGE notebook that is called as a Startup Application. I also 
set the Desktop to boot without the login screen so the kids need not 
know the root passwd. In this way, the SAGE notebook() pops right up on 
boot up and the kids are ready to go!

Now, all I have to do is figure out how to setup a private SAGE server 
once I get some new server hardware. Maybe there's someway to do this 
with the same binaries?

Thanx for all your help!
