- yes, it does. however, rather than using one of mattgadient's pre-modded iso files, i used one i downloaded from ubuntu. is it fatal to try to run it without the modifications ?ChrisL– ChrisL2024-02-04 22:19:23 +00:00Commented Feb 4, 2024 at 22:19
- You may have the 32 bit UEFI boot file,bootia32.efi. Download & add to USB installer to boot it: Detail: askubuntu.com/questions/775498/… & askubuntu.com/questions/392719/32-bit-uefi-boot-support You may find instructions to build your own, but you can just download that file.oldfred– oldfred2024-02-04 22:32:49 +00:00Commented Feb 4, 2024 at 22:32
- yeah, I did that. i have tried to get back to GRUB menu by pressing ESC or ALT or SPACE keys but none of them workChrisL– ChrisL2024-02-05 14:51:29 +00:00Commented Feb 5, 2024 at 14:51
- I was not able to install Ubuntu to my 2006 PC. Server installed & I was able to install lightweight gui. I was able to install Kubuntu, which surpised me as it is more of a mid-weight flavor. You may need a Light weight flavor: Lubuntu, Xubuntu, Ubuntu MATE, Budgie Flavors of Ubuntu only come with three years of supported life (five years applies to Ubuntu Desktop, Ubuntu Server but not flavors) Also used new UEFI install of Kubuntu on external SSD with that old BIOS boot laptop. Only had to add BIOS grub stanza to its HDD. External SSD made old laptop functional.oldfred– oldfred2024-02-05 15:05:59 +00:00Commented Feb 5, 2024 at 15:05

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. shell-script), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
