Did it with feisty (7.10) not too long ago.

First goto your closest mirror download page: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors

Let's assume you're in cambridge: http://ubuntu.media.mit.edu/ubuntu-releases/

You need to download the Alternate cd for your particular situation and box type.

Quote:

The alternate install CD allows you to perform certain specialist installations of Ubuntu. It provides for the following situations:

creating pre-configured OEM systems;
setting up automated deployments;
upgrading from older installations without network access;
LVM and/or RAID partitioning;
installs on systems with less than about 320MB of RAM (although note that low-memory systems may not be able to run a full desktop environment reasonably).

During the partitioning process, there are RAID options that let you label partitions as RAID and then choose the options and mount point. I was able to install root directory on RAID partition without a hitch. Beware the partitioner with raid is a bit buggy, nothing fatal.

Good luck, let me know if you have any qs.
