[HLUG] Open Education Disk v 10.10

I tried the on my Ubuntu machine and the installer says it isn't compatible with Ubuntu Natty - it doesn't say why - it just says that it needs version 1.8-1.* and I have 2.0 - but it doesn't say what package it needs - just the version number??? So this disk may be out of date - i will have a look at the installation script and try to see what it is looking for. It may be easier to create a new disk - but I am not sure what it actually had on it anyway?
