Installing Ubuntu in a very poor performace machine...

[arshad]

A friend of mine needs to have Ubuntu installed in his machine which has
10GB HDD, 128mb RAM, 32mb VGA, 800GHz processor.
I tried installing hardy, jaunty and karmic but all got stuck in the
middle for some reasons i don't know. I think its due to the low
resources of the machine.
Is it possible to install jaunty in his hdd by plugging it into my
motherboard?

mine is a core to duo and all other specifications are different from
him.

please give some advice.

thanks a lot.
