Is there any particular reason you are installing 6.10. It is no longer supported and has not received any security update for a year or two. I would suggest installing a more recent release. As far as question googling it may help. Not very helpful Iknow but 6.10 was before my time.

why not use 8.04? 6.10 does not have updates supplied anymore. 8.04 can be run on 64Mb ram. and updates are still provided till 2011

8.04 is an LTS version so it is very stable.

go to http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download and click on 'alternate download options, including ubuntu installer for windows'.
then select 8.04 and download.

no need to call me sir.. i am only 17 ;)
