Used the ubuntu 16.04 server x386 iso
(http://zw.releases.ubuntu.com/16.04/ubuntu-16.04.2-server-i386.iso),
burned to a DVD. My old desktop has 310mb ram, P3 800mhz. Received this
same error. Could not continue with install.. Documentation says 192mb
minimum. This is untrue.

Title:
  Failed to load installer components

Status in debian-installer package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  My minimum requirements test computer will not install the Trusty 32
  bit server daily ISO (I have tried 2013.11.25; 2103.12.02; 2014.03.18;
  2014.03.19). It installs the 13.10 32 bit Server edition fine, and
  will update from there to 14.04.

  A screen shot will be added.

  Screen says:

  Load Installer components from CD
  Failed to Load installer components.
  Loading apt-cdrom-setup failed for unknown reasons. Aborting.

  The most likely root issue here is that my test computer only has 128
  Megabytes of memory.

  Using VM's:

  For Saucy server 13.10 a minimum of 102 Megabytes memory is required

  For Trusty server 14.04 a minimum of 165 Megabytes memory is required

  Therefore installer memory requirements have increased by 64
  megabytes.

  (which is O.K., we just need to increase the minimum requirements
  specification for Ubuntu Server (which I have done, on both the wiki
  and the Ubuntu Serverguide))
