want to install ubuntu on existing gpt partition
I have a computer with a gpt-partitioned disk that has several partitions (6 or so), with several unused and unformatted partitions.
The computer boots to a non-ubuntu linux, which i do not want to disturb.
I would like to install ubuntu 11.04 on one of the unused and unformatted partitions.
I do not want to install grub or modify the mbr in any way, or to alter in any way any other partition besides the one i end up installing ubuntu on. (I do not want to install grub or modify the mbr in any way because burg is already installed on the computer, to boot the other linux.)
It would be most satisfying if i could do this without a live CD or DVD, using nothing more than some series of commands issued to the existing linux (which i want to keep) --- after all, the process should be only little more than formatting one of the unused partitions, and copying some files to it (???).
But maybe this is not possible, so i'm willing to use a live CD or DVD if i have to, as long as the process will not touch the mbr or change in any way any of the other partitions.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions on how to do this.
