This is on a live DVD and I had not had time to enter a password or any other personal info. If that is the only reason this is a private page it need not remain so.

Two bugs here. Firstly, ubiquity-frontend-gtk should depend on busybox if it's using it. Secondly, I think it's an oversight that the standard task (which contains busybox) isn't present on Ubuntu Studio images.

This bug was fixed in the package livecd-rootfs - 2.64

---------------
livecd-rootfs (2.64) precise; urgency=low

  * Add minimal and standard tasks to Ubuntu Studio images (LP: #962585).

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package ubiquity - 2.10.1

---------------
ubiquity (2.10.1) precise; urgency=low

  * ubiquity.misc.boot_device needs root privileges in order to talk to
    parted_server.
  * Make ubiquity-frontend-gtk depend on busybox-static | busybox for now,
    matching the 'busybox tail' workaround in ubiquity 2.9.32 (LP: #962585).
  * Automatic update of included source packages: flash-kernel 2.28ubuntu42.
