tried Ubuntu 8.04 and this started to boot up but then stopped and gave half a screen of error messages which i have no idea what they mean.
can't run the system direct from cd either as not enough memory should I just give up and bin the bastard as a waste of time?
seems a shame as apart from being old the desktop works ok

Are you running from an ISO image you burned or did you ask for a 'production' disk from Canonical. I was always having problems burning their ISO images. Canonical will ship you a disk for free if you are willing to wait 2-3 weeks. I currently have 7.10 and 8.04 disks from them.
