Hello!
Welcome to Linux Lite.
This forum is fortunate to have a number of people, with varying Linux expertise, who are able to devote the time needed to help out new users. It seems like every time I go to Ubuntu Forums, by the time I get a response, I've already solved my own problem. At that point, I leave the solution for others, or for the next time I need it myself...

valtam was spot on, LSMOD in, terminal produced,list and I selected rmmod pcmcia_rsrc "addition info on list is 18367 1 yenta_socket"
I started install from desktop,this time no take picture option,appeared and installation was successful.
Many thanks to "scott" for posting suggestions,.
I must say having tried o get help in other distro user forums has been a bit frustrating but top marks to "valtam" and the linux-lite forum.
I am beginning to realize that a new Linux user is much better off choosing a well established distro. where the forum is watched by people who are happy to help "newbies" with older hardware.

Let's try Valtam's method.
Boot LL from the usb drive. Before beginning the installation open a terminal and type the following command:
Code:
[Select]
lsmod | grep gspca
where gspca should be the module for your webcam and the output should be something like the following (if you get no output from the command above then stop here and let me know):
gspca_main main driver
gspca_xxxx subdriver module for your specific webcam
to remove the webcam module in the terminal type:
Code:
[Select]
rmmod gspca_xxxx
substitute xxxx for your specific module
should you remove gspca_main next or other modules that are listed? Maybe, but I don't know for certain. I'll let you experiment here.
After removing the webcam modules close the terminal window and begin the installation.
Good luck!

as the take picture screen loads, immediately the installer crashes no option to select anything. I presume the reason for this is the driver is not found. I really would like to run linux-lite on this laptop,my linux knowledge is limited to using terminal,following instructions etc,.passable but not great.
also I would point out that I am running the install from a usb, booted with ploop boot manager,as this laptop will not read high capacity cd-/dvd's.

Hello. Does this crash happen only if you take a picture? If I remember correctly at this stage of the installation there's an option to choose an icon instead of using the webcam to take a picture. If you choose an icon is there still a crash?

lsmod from the terminal will list the kernel module. From there you can do a rmmod on that module, then commence installation.
