[Hudlug] drive didn't partition

[MICHAEL WEAVER]

The drive didn't partition for my Linux installation, it seemed to stop 
churning about 12 last night but when dad looked before 12, no progress and 
when I suggested he press CTRKL just to see if a screensaver was covering 
the screen, the drive went back to churning away, again seeming to do 
nothing.
I think there maybe a bug on the installer of the desktop CD which might be 
why I not only can't run an installation with speech but also why my drive 
seems to churn around like it is doing something but appearing to be stuck 
at the same point.
Obviously the lack of memory isn't a problem so it must be something else as 
regards the Ubuntu installer itself.
I think I need to use the Alternative CD.
