Xubuntu Linux 7.04 won't install?

I have an old Gateway Solo laptop. I have been successfully running Xubuntu Linux on it. This week, I have been trying to install the latest version, 7.04, "Feisty Fawn." It freezes at the "Installing system" stage. It says "15 percent" and "Detecting file systems." I used my live CD's tool for checking the integrity of the ISO, and supposedly it is OK. Is there anything I can do to have a successful install?

ubuntu 7.04 won't install on old computers.For acceptable installation and performance with a default i386 install of kubuntu, I would suggest at least 512 MB of ram and a modern processor (Pentium M, Pentium 4, or AMD64 or better). This would provide you with a smooth system. If you enjoy multitasking I recommend a dual core processor and at least 1 GB of ram.

Possibly let it wait, be patient. It will run on slow computers, it did the same thing for me. Just let it sit for a while, in the meantime go do something so your not waiting for it and becoming impatient.
