Having upped the assigned memory to 256MB, feisty seems to have installed fine from the desktop CD. I've not tried the alternate CD, but I imagine it'd require less memory.
So, it turns out that this was simply a memory issue. It seems 256MB should be a hard minimum for installing from the Desktop CD. -- feisty herd 5 desktop cd installer hangs system https://launchpad.net/bugs/93361 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
