I just realised that the information you mention is indeed incorrect. I will remove that misleading paragraph from the website. Sorry for the confusion! I mistakenly thought it was possible to install the "Edubuntu Desktop" meta package from the add-on cd __into the live session__ of a booted Ubuntu desktop cd. That won't work, though, because the live session needs the Ubuntu cd in the cd-rom drive. Krsnendu Dasa's suggestion of making a bootable "live" usb memory stick sounds worth trying.
