I think you should probably go for the alternate install CDs. The
LiveCDs require quite a bit of memory to run, as they have to unpack
compressed contents into the memory for the live system to run. If I
recall correctly, it needed 256M of memory at least, which you don't
have. Hence, it won't boot. The alternate install CD can make do with
much less.
