Sorry - some of this info is on QA-tracker, and I hadn't realized I'd omitted to put it here also
HP DX6120MT (mini-tower, pentium 4 dual core, 1.5gb ram, nvidia 7600gt) `lshw` output already attached, ~2003-2004 hp It's a x86 image, and I just tried a randomly chosen (16.04.3 LTS) x86_64 image which gave me "This kernel requires a x86_64 CPU, but only detected an i686 CPU. Unable to boot - please use a kernel appropriate for your CPU" Machine doesn't have UEFI, the bios seems to treat PATA disks as higher priority than SATA; the bios is awkward. I have two SATA (80gb) drives enclosed, plus a single PATA (32gb). All are old spinning-rust. On booting the Xubuntu image, I get the common (legos in box = guy in circle bottom centre), then a xubuntu plymouth screen (circling) before the Xubuntu 18.10 background wallpaper giving me the choice of "try xubuntu" or "install xubuntu" (with language selection on left).
