Hi Dave:

In private e-mail, you stated that you have a 400MHz P2 with 96Mb of
RAM.  I took a quick look around for minimum requirements for the Ubuntu
Live CD, but couldn't find a lot.  From some of the stuff on the Ubuntu
download site, though, I'm going to infer that they require a minimum of
192Mb of RAM.
