Hi people!

John, great work! Lyceum is the best!

So, I made "dirty" hack for Lyceum, it shows metablog with all posts from all 
blogs (feeds, search, archives are supported!)
Warning! My system is configured NOT for subdomains! I don't know how my hack 
will work on subdomain config.

Main idea is create blog (e.g. with slug 'all') and catch requests for these 
blog.

Solution:
1. Follow hack instructions.
2. Create blog, remember slug for it (my choise is "all")
3. Go to System admin, fill option "All blogs metablog slug" with created 
blog's slug.
4. voila :)

Working system (sorry, in russian with windows-1251 charset):
