After some reading :) I used Ubuntu 6.10 Alternate Disk. It allowed me to setup RAID/LVM more-or-less successfully. I said 'more-or-less' because I had to point kernel and initrd location when first booting and thereafter edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and /etc/fstab.
To transform Ubuntu into Edubuntu I inserted Edubuntu 6.10 Disk and: $ apt-cdrom add $ aptitude install edubuntu-desktop (by the way, is it enough?) aptitude copied packages from the CD and then asked to insert Ubuntu CD. After I'd inserted the CD and pressed <Enter>, aptitude aborted with segmentation fault. Now I can neither `aptitude remove` nor repeat the installation. How can I revert the system state back to the one just after `apt-cdrom add`? What is the right way to make Edubuntu out of Ubuntu-alternate? Whether Edubuntu developers are here, why there is no Edubuntu Alternate CD? We've got [k|x]ubuntu-alternate but no edubuntu. Why?
