Ubuntu Server install failed, on to Debian Minimal

Alas, the Ubuntu Server 7.04 install failed. Reading my instructions, I think my server-to-be has nowhere near the memory to run it. I tried twice with a differently-sized swap file the second time, and it failed at a different place.

Tonight's run is a Debian minimal-components install CD.

Results: installer completed on bare-minimum run. Can't resolve DHCP, can't find repositories using apt-get.

Anyway, slightly better than nothing.
