I went through the same experience one time when 10.04 had just been released, on a Dell Latitude 100L with the same Memory as you have stated. I actually failed to install it(took more than 3hours trying to install after the selections are made) and I realised it was going to take for ever. When I aborted and tried a lower version of KUBUNTU, things went on smoothly. I didnt want to conclude that Ubuntu 10.04 is a Memory (RAM) 'greedy' OS but it might be the truth. I dont want to say it is a display hardware issue, but try some things small or try increasing the Memory and see what happens. Thank you.
