Comment 5 for bug 99908

The suggested fix works perfectly.

Technically the two tests weren't exactly equal. Originally I had both Kubuntu and Xubuntu installed on the system before the problem occurred. However the original problem hosed these installs. I re-installed Kubuntu 7.04 beta just so there was something on the disk. I launched the installer from a terminal with ubiquity --debug and went through the steps and selected 'guided - use entire disk' on the partitioning page. Clicked through the remaining steps and the installation completed without errors. If you think the quantity of stuff on the disk is an issue I can reinstall both kubuntu and xubuntu and test the fix again. I am about to test todays daily build Kubuntu 20070402, I'll report back if the problem still exists.
