What is the command line?
The famous debian-installer (as seen on help.ubuntu.org) doesn't exist.
I can provide the rest of the command line (as I guess it autostarts when booting from installation CD if X works)
You need an existing X server (on an existing Unix host) to connect to:
DISPLAY=existing-x-server:0 unknown-command
If that isn't possible, because TCP is not compiled into it, use a vnc server:
# on the existing Unix box
/usr/bin/vncserver :1 -geometry 1280x1024 -depth 24
# Which port needs to be open? 6001
iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 6001 -j ACCEPT
# now back in the ubuntu installation LiveCD
DISPLAY=existing-x-server:1 xterm & # this test works for me now
# To be filled in
# Call the ubuntu installer
EDIT:
looks like it's ubiquity
Found by searching /etc/init.d and /etc/init
