Bug Description
even tho i boot the iso with "toram", even tho the iso is in a partition different from where i want to install, even tho i don't want to change partitioning at all nor format any partitions, it still doesn't work to install ubuntu when the iso was booted from the hard disc. this is an unfortunate and unnecessary limitation.

because of this bug it is necessary to either burn a cd, utilize a thumb drive, or use a different installer, eg mini.iso. if this bug were fixed none of those would be necessary.
