Unfortunately, I am talking about the text mode in the live CD of
Trisquel mini. It tries to recognize a network adapter (or something
similar) and then after it doesn't find it it asks me to choose a
repository which it can't verify and thus it can't go to the next step.
Can you not let that particular form without text and follow up? Please,
that some one correct me, but it must be a bug of the installer
software and so, you shouldn't have problems with other installations.
The graphic installer which takes about 10 minutes to load (maybe even
more than that) simply crashes. Will an older version of Trisquel
support my old computer (it has 128 MB memory and 233 MHz)?
I think that you could try install Trisquel 3.5 (maybe it gnome
interface is lighter and also, e.g., my dad's laptop cannot boot
plymouth which is in Trisquel from 4.0 ), and when it is installed, try
to use use the system although it was very slow and then you should be
able to install (previosly downloaded from another computer) selected
packages from a CD, for example lxde (although remove default packages
is not encouraged). Alternatively, why you don't buy a network adapter?
They are cheaper than 10 euros, or you can borrow one from another
computer during the installation process.
I did manage to install an old version of Debian from 2005 which
simply let me select "no adapter available" (or something similar) in
the text installer.
I think that you should not experience the adapter problem in most of
the other alternatives that you try.
