Bug Description
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.
