Comment 8 for bug 290415

ubuntu 8-10 i386
I do confirm the previous comments :

after having boot on live cd, try to install with the installer,
but ubiquity shows an empty window at step 4 (partitionning)
althought gparted shows correctly the disks and partitions

therefore unable to install unbuntu unless first umounting busy(mounted) partitions
obviously a newbie certainly cannot guess that and manage to do it.
