Some of the dvd's / cd's contain part of the program so when its
installed it runs from the hdd, but that grabs the bits (e.g multimedia)
from the cd media.  Playing music / video dvd's should not really be a
problem,  I think Mint has all the required codecs for that.

I am not sure what to suggest here,  are there enough programs for the
children to use within edubuntu,  tux paint is popular, as are a few of
the other programs that have penguins.

Some of the software could also be EYFS specific, so getting that to run
in Linux / wine presents the usual challenge.
