[ale] Ubuntu 6.10 install

[Mark Wright]

I have been trying to install 5.10 on a laptop so I could upgrade to  
6.10 and I am getting a failure at the step after the kernel loads.   
I think that I may have too small a disk(5.1g).  However the problem  
with the other installs is that the 6.10 disk hangs before it gets  
the live setup started.  I have used this disk on 3 computers without  
success and 1 successfully.

I found the memory required to run 6.10 is 128 so that disqualifies  
one of the machines I tried to install on but I am stumped as to why  
the others won't work.

I thought about downloading the iso again but I do have one working  
install from this disk.

thanks,

Mark
