I rebooted into xfce, opened a terminal and editted /etc/apt/sources.list to include:

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper-updates main restricted

I then did

$ sudo aptitude update
$ sudo aptitude upgrade

THEN launched the installer (and chose reiserfs this time instead of xfs as the single mega-partition type). The installer worked without a hitch this time.
