Why struggle to understand why the partition on the target drive is
mounted? Maybe because the target SSD is connected via USB (and not via
SATA). During these tests there is no internal drive in my Toshiba, only
two SSDs, the live drive and the target drive.

In the case of these tests with my Toshiba, I am rather sure, that there
is no problem due to any swap.

I made a quick test in another computer, a Dell Precision M4800 with an
internal drive containing Ubuntu Jammy with a swap partition. When
booting into Lubuntu Noble live in this case the root partition is not
mounted, but the swap partition is connected, so I understand why you
want me to swapoff.

I did not want to overwrite Ubuntu Jammy, but I could run Calamares
until the partitioning page, and I can verify that in this case it was
enough to run

swapoff /dev/sda2

and leave the zram swap on, and get the option to use the whole drive at
the partitioning page.

-o-

In order to make installing work with various setups I suggest that
Calamares should unmount and/or swapoff whatever is activated on the
target drive.

But I don't think everything should be swapped off, there is a reason
why Lubuntu live is using zram for swapping: to make it work with a
small amount of RAM.
