For the interested I did try installing ubiquity (ubuntu-installer), etc on my working IDE system, ignoring the notes in synaptic about it not doing a lot that was terribly useful, but even when I managed to disable the migration assistant, /dev/sda1 was already mounted and ubiquity gives no GUI way of bypassing the migration-assistant stage - bug?, which I sorted by passing a command line switch to ubuquity. With no LiveCD in the system there was no filesystem.squashfs for ubiquity to dump over /target so it died pretty early in the process.

Then I explored Netbooting and MinimalCD's I got halfway through installing tftp on another box until I realised that the MinimalCD was so small.

It is really time for sleep now!
