Thanks for the tips Karl,

If I remember correctly it was an early 64-bit AMD processor, and it ran
beautifully live with Lubuntu 64 bit.

I tried also to install directly without first booting the live desktop.
I had done manual partitioning before using gparted, still no go until I
used the alternate CD.
