As I recall, when I last did this, installing from running the live

from booting (rather from the live desktop), and it succeeded.
I remembered more details on the installation mentioned above.
It was a Pentium 4.
It actually didn't totally succeed. It got to the very end of the
installation, where it removes language packs and installation-related
packages, and died there. But it had already updated GRUB, and
therefore the new system booted, and they have been using that system
with no problems reported to me since then.
Not having done the cleanup, they are wasting disk space (which they
have plenty of), and may have to install updates to packages they will
never use.
I did not have an alternate-install CD with me when I upgraded their
system.
I probably could have saved space by purging the ubiquity slideshow
package (which has solved problems installing with 512 MB RAM in the
past), but I didn't try that where I was running low on time.
