unable to install ubuntu 16.04.2

[Isaac Martens]

Robert,


I installed the Ubuntu Server 17.04 on a Dell R710 machine.

I am asked about another password (sudo or root)... not sure after I get an ok from typing my password.


I don't know what to enter for that extra password or whatever code it is asking for.


Isaac

Question:

I am presuming the Windows XP machine is 32-bit.

Did you download the i386 or amd64 Ubuntu 16.04.2 iso?

The amd64 version is not going to work on the Windows XP machine. It won't
work on the Windows 7 laptop, if that machine is also 32-bit (I am not sure if
Windows 7 came out after the general "end of the production" of 32-bit Intel-ish
processors.)
