On an empty Laptop: Why does my Ubuntu Live CD stop at the loading screen?

So I just got a new Pentium M Dual Core laptop (it’s a 32-bit system, but I forgot the clock speed) with 1GB of RAM and 80 GB of harddisk space.

I tried to install Ubuntu 7.10 and 7.04 using the Live CD method (which was succesful when I install it on my Pentium D desktop).

But with both versions, after the boot menu and selecting “Install from Live CD”, the progress bar just stop at the middle in the boot screen.

Strange thing is, when I tried the so-called Linux Rescue Disc that came with the laptop, the Live CD goes fine without a glitch.

But I don’t want to install that crappy Linux, I want my UBUNTU!

Can anybody help me to get the Live CD works?
Is there any other way to install Ubuntu 7.04/7.10 besides using the Live CD mode?

Thanks/

what type of linux would be best suggested?

i am wondering what linux version would be the best for me, i am a little bit of a nerd, i am a gamer, i love browsing the web and downloading videos, and i like to listen to music off of the web, and i want to have an ftp program of some sort. and i dont want to bog down on the processor any bit, i do not care for word prosesing or any hexediting programs, i want a music player and video player in it, and if this could all be bundled into a live cd that would be even better! but it doesnt have to.

thanks,
Cory

A question about ubuntu linux?

how long does it take to load the linux kernel. I sepnt like 5 minutes waiting and it didnt load. Im using the 64 bit version. im running it on a live CD. I just burnt it last night.

What is a good linux distro for skeptics?

i need to know what linux i should use to convince friends and such to switch or at least try it, preferably live cd’s such as knoppix, but they need to be a bit quick and not dreadfully slow like ubuntu live cds

Can you burn an ISO to a CD without installing software?

Is it possible? Because I would like to make a Linux Live CD, but would rather not install software to do so. By the way, I’m using 32-bit Windows Vista Home Premium, if that makes a difference.
