My laptop has shitty RAM.

Your probably right then, I was just thinking that if he has enough RAM to run a fully featured GNOME desktop then he would have enough to install. But now I think about it when you install Ubuntu you start up a Live Environment which is copied to your RAM (I think) so if you didn't have enough then you wouldn't be able to run the Live CD.

So OP probably needs to use the Alternate Install CD to install Ubuntu or a variant Smile
