Bug Description
I encountered a problem when trying to install Ubuntu Desktop 17.04 on a HP Pavilion g7 Notebook with 8 Gigs of memory, on a disk that had been completely wiped clean. Basically, the installation CD could not connect to the Internet. I tried both a wired Ethernet connection (which the installation did not detect at all) and then a WiFi connection. The WiFi could at least be seen during the install, but the install could not find the Internet.
In the end, I wiped the disk again and installed Ubuntu Desktop 16.04.2 with no problems. It correctly detected and used the wired Ethernet connection to the Internet.
