I have tried several times to install lubuntu 18.04 on an old emachines with 512MB ram. Every time it gets as far as the "who are you" screen and freezes . I can't type anything into the boxes. I have tried it both from the live DVD boot and from try lubuntu and then install from the desktop that opens. Freezes each time at that exact place. It will boot puppy linux fine and runs OK from the try option but can't install due to above issue. I have tried waiting a long time for it to unfreeze (like an hour) but no luck.Thanks

thanks, so far it is letting me do the setup and type, hopefully will boot OK. All done and booted! I donate these old computers to disabled vets, time consuming but a challenge, thanks
