What can I do to install SchoolTool

[Tom Hoffman (tom-hoffman)]

It does not look like the 2.8 repositories were actually added, I don't know why. You can probably get rid of the error messages when you do apt-get update by ejecting the install disk. I would also try 'sudo apt-get install python-pastescript" and see what the (likely) error message is.
