Title:
  12.10 Beta 2 arm image acts like an ISO not like 12.04

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  The 12.04 [1] and 12.10 beta 2 [2] Desktop image behave differently. I
  was using a pandaboard ES.

  The 12.04 version installs in place. That is, as soon as the image is
  booted on the device, it will resize the partition, then run through
  the language selection, device and user configuration, etc. It does
  not prompt for storage because it just uses the boot device.

  The 12.10 Beta 2 version acts like an ISO. It just boots (w/o resizing
  the partition) and eventually prompts for a storage location and fails
  to install to itself. The install process looks almost identical to an
  amd64 ISO image.

  The 12.04 setup instructions were used for both releases, [3].

  This may not be a ubiquity issue, but I didn't know where else to file
  it.
