Installing Ubuntu

[Joseph]

It's a new and unused drive of 20 Gb.  The reason I'm using 20 is 
because it's an older Gateway machine and I can't seem to get a larger 
drive to work as a "C" drive.

It apparently stops loading.  It goes through all the loading references 
on the brown Ubuntu screen, but then it goes to another screen and 
doesn't seem to move from there.

Oh yes, I've waited to between one and two hours for it.

I'll try it again this evening and see if it will load over night.

Couple of questions :
1. Are you sure that  there is enough space in the partition that you 
are trying to install Ubuntu
2. What exactly do you mean by stops ? Does it give any error ? Have you 
tried waiting for some more time.

My best guess is that due to low RAM, the amount of time taken to copy 
installation files is more. Try again and wait for more time this time.
