[Bug 1721754] Re: trying to install ubuntu 16.04.3 on a new system

[Juan Sanz]

Phillip. As you mentioned, I was trying to install Ubuntu in a new computer
setup using my old HD and, even though I tried erasing the main partition,
I failed to erase the swap. I did solve it by selecting the installation
option where the entire HD is erased. Everything is working fine, now.

Thank you, very much.
