Actually you do. The karmic liveCD installer isn't working properly.

Only issue is why it does not offer to import the installed 9.10 home
(as was done previously in jaunty). It offers to import the WinXP files
from sda, (step 6 of 7) but not the 9.10 files from sdb. No idea what
I'd do with the WinXP files from sda...
