Work around appears to be install from Ubuntu 9.04 AMD64 Live CD (or
USB). After install of 9.04, use Update Manager to upgrade to Ubuntu
9.10, and then use Update Manager again to upgrade to 10.04. A

Update on the work around: Install Ubuntu 8.04 LTS 64 bit version first. 8.04
can be upgraded to 10.04 directly from a network connection as identified on
this page:
