In case anyone had the same problem as me, i solved
it.  The Ubuntu partitioning in the installed doesn't
recognize anything but free space.  It will not write
over an existing linux partition.

You need to "Go Back" and "Execute a Terminal".  From
there, you can access your partitions by typing:

cfdisk /dev/ide/bus0/lun/target0/disc 

(this is not exactly right, but close)

Then use the menu driven app to delete the linux
patitions you need to free up and select "Write".

Now exit cfdisk and type "exit" at the prompt to go
back into the installer.  The partitioner will detect
your newly freed space.
