Well you're quite a bit beyond my experience in Rescue which is
something I've never done.

Do note, in Xubuntu install, in order for install to use partition

/

it must be absolutely empty with nothing in it, nothing restored,
nothing written to it, nothing rescued to it.  I usually do this by
manual install doing a delete followed by a new.  However, that's busted
in Xubuntu.  My workaround was to use gparted to create the partition
before booting CD Live to do the install.

Then in install I could edit the partition, select mount point /, then
select format, and continue install.  As far as I can tell, install
itself must format the partition so it is quite sure it can use it.  I
can't give you the keystroke sequence right now because I don't have a
blank partition handy; I may later today.  I don't remember whether in
install I had to unmount the partition to set it to /.  It does have to
be /, and install does have to do a format as part of its install
sequence.  Cheers, Jerry
