Ubuntu linux on old laptop ThinkPad 600 |

I have an old laptop IBM ThinkPad 600. Recently, installed Ubuntu linux on it. There is a little problem. New Ubuntu 6.10 installation works as live cd. So, you boot from live cd, then install it to your PC. Problem is, that in old laptop there is only 128MB ram, and during ubuntu boot, it hangs (not enough ram). The sollution is to download ubuntu-6.10-alternate-i386.iso. It's alternate installation cd, where you can choose text based install.
There are also two good resources about ThinkPad 600x problems and their sollutions on Ubuntu:

Also, you can check thread on ubuntuforums, where I made a post about "Getting Error After Disc Loads to First Menu"
