Install freezes from the beginning

[trinidad]

May or may not be graphics card. Whatever blobs are available are all in the i915 bundle and the live disk installer should be able to deal with that. You said XP which means it is unlikely a UEFI issue unless you are 64bit. Early Celerons have issues as well. What is your CPU? Will the live system boot from the dvd or USB? Not speaking of the installer, rather the live LL system.

Good day everyone, I am new here, and also new with Linux Lite.
Recently, I try to install Linux Lite 3.8 onto my old netbook - Acer Aspire One with 2 GB RAM, Graphic card GMA 500.
Windows XP was installed, and when I boot it from USB/ DVD (extern), I can only reach the Linux Lite install menu, after I press enter it freezes; since I have also tried waiting for 5 hours, I am sure it wasn't processing.
The same fate when I try installing ubuntu MATE (install menu > Enter > game over).

From what I have searched online, it seems to be a graphic card failure; another case could be ACPI problem - could anyone suggest a solution?

Thanks in advance!
