for the past week i've been attempting to install ubuntu 10.10 (notebook edition) on my dell 1012 mini. 250g hard drive, 1 GB of ram, intel atom processor.

Every time i install i get the message "ready when you are" and it stops installing. it freezes/crashes which forces me to restart. i've left it for an hour without it moving.

any help would be appreciated. all my upgrades are already done using windows which i wiped trying to install. it's partially installed as it saves the partitions/some ubuntu files.
