drivers etc and add Adobe CS3

Not so great. 

 

Our experience is that the eduSTAR image is only good for Lenovo
laptops. Installing on other machines, notebook or desktop, has resulted
in configuration problems = unstable.

 

We continue to build our own images; I have yet to find a DEECD image
that is acceptable/stable/functional.

 

Doubt it will change. L

Edustar Win7 version 3a image.

For no reason, my friend became a square, flat surface with four legs. I
rushed him to hospital. His condition is table.
