The install CD depends on a fairly modern system with a fair amount of RAM. If you have an older machine or not much RAM, you may want to try the "Alternate Install CD", such as can be found here:

If you get that with xubuntu, that might be a known bug. What Version did you try?

Have you checked the CD for any errors?

And you should probably also try using alternate CD installer. http://mirrors.gigenet.com/ubuntu/6.06.1/ubuntu-6.06.1-alternate-i386.iso

Any specific reason why you're using 6.06? Perhaps you should try 7.04 since it's the newest version.
