Some of the Skolelinux customization is applied at install time, so even 
if you install the exact same packages as add-on to a standard Debian 
install, the result will not be the same as default Skolelinux install.

If interested in the gory details, see http://bugs.debian.org/311188 
(the reason the bug was ignored for several releases and its severity 
lowered is that parts of the functionality is only triggered on custom 
Skolelinux install routines, not normal package install).


Also, beware that newest stable release of Skolelinux is based on Debian 
Sarge.  Testing releases based on Debian Lenny are available but not 
recommended for production use.
