Brian,

I have tried what you suggest several times, without succeeding.
When coming to partitions, the installer lets you choose between:

  - creating a new partition
  - using the entire disc
  - manually choosing the partitions

I have taken the last one, and selected the existing Ubuntu partition,
but have received an error message telling:

   "No root file system is defined.
   Please, correct it from the partitioning menu".

However, there is no menu that allows to specify that a partition
has a root file system. Moreover, this is a queer request: I am
selecting a partition on which I want the installer to install the system
creating whatever root file system it needs.

I ask you then not to close the bug, unless there is a way to overcome
this problem and succeed to install the system on an existing partition.

Thank you
-Angelo Borsotti
