Title:
  Ubuntu 9.10 Install does not warn the user when unable to launch due
  to insufficient memory

Status in “ubuntu-meta” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in Baltix GNU/Linux:
  New

Bug description:
  Tried many times with various cds, burning programs, tried alternate
  download, changing Bios settings, swapping CD ROM, you name it. Ubuntu
  never even gave a sign it was attempting to load.

  The only thing that worked was using Xubuntu instead, probably because
  it only required 192Mb of RAM, which is exactly what I had. Ubuntu,
  come to find out, needs 256Mb.

  Assuming that was the issue, trying to install from Ubuntu CD without
  a simple notification like "***Unable to load Ubuntu, not enough
  memory*** is a bug to be fixed. Running a small app to scan for system
  requirements and notify the user would avoid hours of frustration for
  a newbie. Maybe this is built in already and did not work properly.
