I am trying to install xubuntu for the first time ever on a P3 730 mhz compaq system with 192mb of ram. Everytime I start the install, it hangs up at the 15% detecting files systems stage. What is going on? I am switching this computer from Win XP to xubuntu on the recomendations from a friend so that I can run it as a web server. How do I get xubuntu to install? I have been able to install kubuntu on my system, but I have been told to use xubuntu due to the restricted ram that I have.

1. Make sure you run the checksum to check the integrity of the ISO image after you've downloaded it.

2. Burn it at a slow speed like 4x.

3. Use the alternate Xubuntu CD instead.
