UbuntuOhio Issue with Ubuntu 7.10 in Toledo

[Paul Sylvester]

Jacob,

  Try downloading the AMD 32 bit ubuntu.  It might be the AMD is only 32 
bit and not 64 depending on how old the system is.  If it had XP on it 
for years I'm willing to bet it is only a 32 bit system.   Is it an AMD 
or Intel just to be clear on that one?
