Top-posting because of the blasted way Windows Mail won't indent some news 
messages.  Sig at bottom.

I was going to say that the instructions below don't appear to be in the CG. 
But I've just done a Google on their precise words and found them in 13.6 
Unsorted policies.  Think it would make sense to put them in their own 
section somewhere?

(I was looking for them because I help out at a charity that runs Asterisk, 
and no-one knows how it's installed.  I was thinking of making a GUI/Ubuntu 
version, as below.)

lilybuntu2 is about ready. I've created the .iso and installed in a VM
for testing, all that's left is to test the doc-build in the VM.
building of LP itself went fine. Lilybuntu2 should be even easier for
folks than the previous version b/c now I already have the
lily-git.tcl script in user's home directory after installation. Just
have to log in & run the script to download source and get rolling.

It'll be easy for me to install those new packages and re-run the iso
creation. No worries, but here's the short version of how to create
lilybuntu (I did this on a spare drive, but it can be done in a VM
too, I assume):

1. Install ubuntu, reboot
2. Run all updates, reboot if asked
3. Enable src repos, refresh package lists
4. install LP build deps:
 sudo apt-get build-dep lilypond
5. install git and autoconf:
 sudo apt-get install git-core gitk autoconf

TEST TO SEE WHETHER EVERYTHING WORKS NOW:
  1. use lily-git.tcl to grab source files
  2. go to source dir and do "./autogen.sh" ; make ; make doc
  3. if all compiles, move on to iso creation...

6. Download & install "remastersys":
 http://sourceforge.net/projects/remastersys/
7. copy lily-git.tcl script file into /etc/skel/
8. modify /etc/remastersys.conf as desired (change .iso name,
 default live session username, etc)
9. Remove non-essential desktop software as desired
10. create iso:  sudo remastersys dist
11. new iso is in /home/remastersys/remastersys/
12. test iso by installing in VM and repeating steps above for
getting source files and building lp and docs
