I've tried the Live installation on both "Ubuntu Ultimate Edition 1.1" and "Ubuntu 6.10 desktop" but I'm having a really hard time with them. I couldn't even get the Ultimate Edition to boot up on the Live CD (It was trying too but I lost my patients after 45 minutes) and Ubuntu 6.10 boots up but then when I double click the installation icon, It just freezes up. I really would like to install the latest distro of Ubuntu on my computer but I'm not having luck with Live CD's. Is there another way? I'm currently downloading the Ubuntu 5.10 (Breezy Badger) install CD and not the Live CD, and I'm hoping that I can just install it and then upgrade to the latest, Is this the only option I've got? Or is there an easier way to install the latest distro of Ubuntu without a Live CD?

Also, the machine I'm trying to install Ubuntu on has a 60GB hard drive, AMD Athlon (0.18) 906.4MHz processor, and 128M RAM. This may explain why the Live CD's are running so slowly (I know I at least need to upgrade the RAM on that old computer) but will the current hardware allow Ubuntu to even install, boot up, and function properly? or would a memory upgrade be required?
