ubuntu operation question

[Jude DaShiell <jdashiel shellworld net>]

Earlier I tried to run the ubuntu trial disk for x86 computers on a Dell 
desktop with 128mb of memory.  The hard drive has 120gb of space and 
another installed version f debian on it I prefer to keep undisturbed for 
the time being.  I used link 5 on the ubuntu page off of the gnoppix page 
for the download.  After hitting the enter key five times waiting for disk 
activity to stop, the gnome startup sounds play over my sound card. 
Beyond that, though there's no speech.  I have the sound card I do not 
have magnification needs since no magnification will ever help this eye 
sight in this life, and I do not have a refreshable braille display.  WAm 
I starting this system up incorrectly or do I not have enough computer 
resources yet available to run it, or am I not waiting long enough for 
speech?
