I managed to continue the installat= ion,=20 by switching to a second console (Alt+F2) and killing the partman (not=20 entirely sure about the name) process. Back in console 1, the installer=20 complained that an error had occurred and that for the installation to=20 continue, the root file system had to be mounted on /target. So I switche= d=20 back to console 2, mounted the root file system there, and then hit Enter= in=20 console 1.

When the base ubuntu distribu= tion=20 was installed, i tried: apt-get install kubuntu-desktop which made coLinux suddenly disappear during the package configuration, a= s=20 well as on subsequent booting, except in single-user mode.
