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.
