If the problem is limited memory on the machine (it sounds like that's the problem) then I suggest you download the 'Alternative' CD instead of the 'Desktop' CD. It uses a plain text installer which starts and runs much faster. See: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors

Can you help with this problem?
