installation fails with error message "???-???"
I've been trying to install Ubuntu 14.04 (32-bit) on an older AMD Sempron computer alongside the existing Windows XP installation. Every time I start the installation, it gets as far as asking my time zone, then a strange message box pops up with an error icon and the text "??? - ???". No error message except the text "??? -???". I click OK and it goes back to the start of the installation.
It doesn't matter whether I choose the "Install alongside" default, or if I choose the "Something else" option and specify partitions, the result is the same.
The computer is working fine when I boot the Windows XP partition. There's plenty of free disk space on the drive.
I verified the DVD when I burned it from 14.04.1-
So what is the error message "???-???" supposed to mean?
