Installing Ubuntu

[Joseph]

I may sound quite unknowlegeable in this, and that's because I am.

I have put Ubuntu v6.06.1 on a DVD.  Recently I attempted to install it 
into my system.  It didn't go.  It began through some of the initial 
installation files, but then stopped.

I have a 20Gb hard drive with an 80Gb secondary drive.  I have (if I 
recall correctly) 387 meg of ram.  I know that 512 is best, but that's 
what I have.

What might be keeping me from installing Ubuntu onto my computer?
