A little story...
I decided to upgrade an Ubuntu 8.04 install to 9.10.

I didn't mention, by the way, that the system boots from a software RAID array, which "just worked".
Is this Ubuntu desktop or server?
Tuesday evening I was trying installing Ubuntu onto a PC which was to have mirrored disks and with Ubuntu desktop:
- There didn't seem to be any way to specify any kind of RAID in the
partitioning step.
- Converting afterwards seemed fraught with difficulty.
The easy way round this is to use the alternate installation image rather than the live cd image...the alt image has the same installer as Ubuntu Server...although I agree it really really should be an option on the GUI installer method.
