YES, cracked it,
nothing seemed to work, same results at the end asking for 16.04 cd so i took a chance and out of frustration i just added the first part of the sudo to the end of the result without closing terminal and wolla, it loaded perfect , did a live create and created iso and created a live usb drive on my old xp desk top with universal usb creator, all good.
thanks for all your advice folks, appreciation and respect to you all.
just need to figure how to get google chrome on this as its 32 bit, apparently it can be done so if you know how could you please point me to an answer on here or a link to it.
