Binary package hint: ubiquity
1. I attempted to install the latest Edubuntu build inside VirtualBox
2. I created a 10GB virtual hard drive and booted the live DVD.
3. When I got to the partition setup screen, Edubuntu offers to let me install Edubuntu "side-by-side" but it also says there are no other operating systems installed. In fact, at this point, there are no partitions on the virtual hard drive.
4. I did not notice this issue when I installed the latest Ubuntu live CD earlier today.

oops, I guess there was a partition here from a failed text-mode install attempt
