installation is too ...... slow

[Chris Neary]

Also, I used to have terrible problems on certain weird machines' CD
drives. Putting in a CD drive previously known to work fixed it. On
the Dapper CD, there's an option in the splash to check the CD for
errors. If your drive can read the CD properly this will report no
errors and you should be ok on the hardware front.

But yes, you could also use the alternate CD, but it's another ISO
download. See which suits you best. Hopefully you can get Ubuntu
installed quickly and easily - once you  have it, it really does rock.
