You can, start ubiquity in a terminal with the -b switch; if booted to kde:
/usr/bin/ubiquity -b kde_ui
That's not documented at man ubiquity, but I've done it.

I am now in the process of configuring sylvia on my multiboot system for
use in place of my maya partition.
To accomplish this I first created a logical partition for sylvia with
DFSee and then used mkfs to format it jfs from my maya system. I next
booted the sylvia Live DVD, opened a terminal window and then executed
"ubiquity -b" as suggested. I selected my swap partition and new sylvia
root partition and did the installation.
Once the install completed I rebooted the system and from a grub prompt
manually booted sylvia. I went through the initial setups and updates
there. After completing these I then ran:
sudo grub-install --force /dev/sda15
sudo update-grub
I then restarted the system and was then able to start sylvia directly
from IBM Boot Manager.
Finally I ran:
sudo chattr +i /boot/grub/i386-pc/core.img
Per Arch Linux Wiki GRUB Tips & Tricks this should prevent the critical
blocklist for GRUB from being modified and breaking GRUB.
Hopefully this will help anyone else in a similar situation with current
mint distros.
