Colin, I followed this guide
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromLinux

"If you already have a working linux system, installing without external media is easy. You need to create a new partition, copy the CD contents over to it, boot from the new partition, and proceed as if you were installing from a CD."

The page seems to say it worked on Hardy. No mention of Intrepid, and definitely did not work on Jaunty. I used the LiveCD method. Have not tried the alternative CD methods. I did try some other guides, but generally was not even able to boot the installer. This LiveCD method was the first to actual boot up and start the install process.
