Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubiquity

I start selecting "Installing Ubuntu". I answer all questions in a german vanilla fashion. He claims to start the partitioning tool, then just starts the live session, leaving the hard disk untouched.

In the live session I start "Install Ubuntu 9.10" and the same here. I have to answer all over again (tho he remembers my name and username) and then after starting partitioning he just stops, and the live system is still on as if I never tried to install anything.

Workaround appreciated.

Sounds close to bug # 430607 but in my case the install procedure actually started.
