Is the machine so old it doesn't support DMA or ACPI? You can stop grub
from booting and add the options you need there. Also, see the "Alternate
install CD" which can:
"
* creating pre-configured OEM systems;
* setting up automated deployments;
* upgrading from older installations without network access;
* LVM and/or RAID partitioning;
* installing GRUB to a location other than the Master Boot Record;
* installs on systems with less than about 192MB of RAM.
"
Edubuntu is just like every other ubuntu- it installs a bunch of custom
packages, so, once you determine which packages you need, you can include
the deb packages on a CD, stuff it in and install automatically.
Cheers,
