[ubuntu-uk] unable to install 10.04.1

[Norman Silverstone]

I have just finished trying to install 10.04.1 onto an old desktop
computer belonging to a friend of mine and failed to do so. The
installation started OK and then the red and white dots froze and the
Caps Lock and Scroll Lock lights on the keyboard kept flashing on and
off. I am confident that the CD is OK because it has worked on another
of my machines. Not wanting to let my friend go away Ubuntu less I
installed 9.10 with no problems.

I wonder why 10.04.1 would not install?
