Public bug reported:
Tried many times with various cds, burning programs, tried alternate
download, changing Bios settings, swapping CD ROM, you name it. Ubuntu
never even gave a sign it was attempting to load.
The only thing that worked was using Xubuntu instead, probably because
it only required 192Mb of RAM, which is exactly what I had. Ubuntu, come
to find out, needs 256Mb.
Assuming that was the issue, trying to install from Ubuntu CD without a
simple notification like "***Unable to load Ubuntu, not enough memory***
is a bug to be fixed. Running a small app to scan for system
requirements and notify the user would avoid hours of frustration for a
newbie. Maybe this is built in already and did not work properly.
