installing edubuntu on top of Kubuntu

[Dragonschild81]

I'm sorry if this is a wicked newbish question but I just started in on linux. I just installed Kubuntu on my laptop and I wanted to see what the edubuntu OS was like for my daughter but I do not know how to install it from the cd or if it is even possible. If I need to use a certain version like say Ubuntu then I will start over with that. thanks in advance and any advice is welcome.

You can install on top of the old one. During the installation, choose 'Manual' and pick the old partitions. You can ignore /swap

already have Edubuntu on cd, and Kubuntu installed on laptop. the thing is that when I put the cd in the drive on the laptop I dont get an install option. when I restart I dont get a boot from cd menu like when I was using windows. I am not familiar at all with how things work in Kubuntu either.

Did you make CD first in boot order in BIOS? Or maybe you don't have a bootable CD.

Yep CD is first in boot order...CD should be bootable, I created all of them at the same time so I wouldn't forget about that part. I will go back and double check both of those, while I am doing this is there anything else that I need to know about installing one version of ubuntu over another?
