Install with 20090114 failed same way, insisted it couldn't make changes
to the partition table with a /cdrom partition mounted, since I was
installing from a CD image in a partition as I usually do.

I DON'T WANT ANY CHANGES TO THE PARTITION TABLE!  CERTAINLY NO CHANGES
TO ANY OTHER PARTITION THAN THE ONE BEING INSTALLED TO!

gparted has no trouble formatting a partition with no effect on any
other partition, ubiquity should have no trouble either.

I had already formatted the partition with gparted and manual partition
install only needed to set the mount point to / which should not require
any changes in any other partition!  This is a 7 boot system and I was
installing to 1 partition with no size or any other changes.  I don't
know if setting mount point to / requires a partition change, but should
certainly not need changing any other partition at all.

Anyone have any clue whether ubiquity is trying to rewrite the entire
table, BAD NEWS, or is it just doing a check to see if anything is
mounted?  Having another partition mounted than the one being changed
doesn't cause gparted any trouble, it should not cause ubiquity any
trouble either.
