I don't think that's a very good idea for a real machine. You may want to try using a stock Ubuntu CD, then following the instructions at <http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emcinfo.pl?Installing_EMC2> section 2. If there's a problem with installation, there may be other problems lurking, so I'd consider the machine defective until you manage to install and run memtest for a few days. Memtest can be run from the LiveCD or the stock Ubuntu CD.
