I have tried (many times) to install ubuntu 6.06. It installs but will not run, when the correct user and password is entered in the GUI screen it flicks to the command line (too fast to read) and then back to a blank input user screen.

From other comments here it seems this is normal.
Even microsoft doesn't have passwords during installation.

The solution is simple:
1.0 Allow the installation of ubuntu without a password, when it's working those that want passwords can presumably add them later. The idea of having a password during installation is ridiculous -you can't access anything without the password so can't fix it.
2.0 Find out who wanted to put a password in the installation process and get rid of him/her/them, they are obviously planted by the opposition to stop people using linux.
