With that little RAM you need the alternative install CD, not the live desktop one.

Might be worth looking at the XFCE version too - much lower overhead than the Gnome desktop.

+1

128MB is too little RAM to run either the full GNOME or KDE desktop.

Memory aside found your problem. No such version.
