Check this link.. http://maketecheasier.com/what-to-install-after-installing-ubuntu-lucid/2010/04/21 (thanks stranger in black) Can such a script be done? that upon execution (may be autoplay as cd is inserted) would add the cd as repository,,present the user with some software selection screen.(with presets selected,i.e the apps u told are essential..) and issue the apt-get install commands..The user has only to see the preset selected or if he thinks necessary uncheck some options and click finish. I dont have experience in doing such things,,but this can be done easily i think..please correct me if its not. -- Srihari -- "Freedom is the only law".
