What about the alternate installer, is that easy enough to run (it's

Nio:
The alternate installer works fine, but I first need to try out the live
CD to see if it supports my particular machine, and the applications I
use. So I download the Live CD ISO of necessity, first.
Then, when I decide to install, I could do another long download of the
Alternate Install ISO, but with my moderate-rate Internet speed, it is
easier (and quicker) to work-around the crash during the ubiquity
slide-show, by simply (while running the live CD, and before clicking on
the Install icon) use the package manager to remove the ubiquity
slide-show.
That way, I don't have to download another ISO image, and it then
doesn't crash while copying files, and the installation completes
successfully.
That has become my standard installation procedure on machines with only
512 megabytes of RAM (some of which do not support more RAM).
I see, and I agree, that it a good method.
Please explain how you remove the ubiquity slide-show! I don't know, and
probably I'm not alone.
Nio, and all:
Running the live CD (which runs in RAM, so no changes are retained
beyond the live session), execute Synaptic Package Manager (under the
System menu).
Search for:
ubiquity
(You could also search for slideshow).
In the list of packages, you will see one called:
ubiquity-slideshow-lubuntu
Mark it to be removed, and apply the changes.
Then double-click the installation desktop icon.
During the time when the slideshow would be showing, the install window
is small, but it does give you a progress indicator, and it doesn't
crash - at least not for the insufficient RAM reason.
You could remove the above package with a single sudo apt-get command,
but the method above does not depend on remembering the precise package
name, or being able to look up the command in an old e-mail.
