Thanks, Robert.  What you have written is very interesting and it makes 
sense.  They should make it clearer on their web pages.

Before seeing your message, the closest I had come to what sounded like a 
definite answer was this:

http://www.ubuntugeek.com/installing-lamp-using-taskeldesktop-edition.html

    The second way to install is using TASKEL. a TASKEL is a software
    application tool that groups some packages into tasks and allows the
    user to install the packages from the task.. u can install it from the
    terminal by typing.

    sudo taskel install lamp-server

I wonder what the differences are in the two approaches.  If both methods 
end up at the same place, the taskel approach might be quicker because 
there will be less to download.  Your recommendation sounds sure to work 
though.

What I'd really like is to be able to do it all from the installation CDs. 
Example: Do the server installation with LAMP from CD, then do the desktop 
installation from CD on top of that, but that might not work.

Mike
