Bug Description
Yesterday, I tried booting the Live-CD on a system with only 128 MB RAM. It failed miserably, accessing the CD for at least one hour before I gave up. This is a real CD drive killer.
I guess 128 MB RAM just isn't enough to boot the live CD. There should be a warning right at the very start of the boot process.
Note that I was able to install Ubuntu from the install CD, and it runs reasonably well for web browsing/email/etc (there is some amount of swapping, but not excessive). Thus, it would make sense if the mentioned warning could include a pointer to the install CD.
