Does it crash or just "hangs"? I had the installer hanging and solved by disabling the internet connection while installing.

Yeah, the md5sums are pretty well hidden...

The md5sums are the same. The installer crashes at the window after selecting language with " exit code 141" whatever that means.

Similar issue occured to me when the disc image of Trisquel 5.5 wouildn't initiate installation neither on virtualbox or when booted from GRUB.
When I checked the MD5SUM it was just different but earlier i did write that same trisquel disc image into a disc and that's the system I am still using, even the md5sum of the disc is correct.

Hmm, so all you get is "exit error 141", nothing more? I can't say much because I don't know anything about the installer internals and the message doesn't tell which program failed.

just attempting to reproduce your problem,
Which image is?
What language options are you selecting?
your cpu & memory?
any overclocking?

OK, I downloaded Trisquel 700mb Gnome version.
Launch the installer , first page is "select language" ,English is all ready highlighted,click on 'continue' and then it crashes.
I think it's 1.6 cpu and 2GB ram

Can you install anything else at all (Ubuntu, Mint...) or is it Trisquel-specific?

I suspect a harware issue. I had the same kind of problem on a netbook (nothing would install). The reason was bad RAM. Everything worked fine after replacing the RAM with the right one. Can you run memtest86++ to test your RAM?

This is embarrassing, in case it was either Me or the computer, I downloaded the 500mb KDE version, burnt it to disc and it installed no problem.
OK, that only left one thing, the disc I'd burnt to.
Burnt to another disc and problem solved.
My thanks to those who tried to help please forgive an old duffer who should have known better.
Finaly how do I mark this thread as solved?

As I said: you should have checked the md5.

The md5 was correct it was the cd that was damaged, a new cd solved the problem - nothing else.

I see another message where you say that you did check md5. How did you
check it?

1) By going to the link that someone else posted and copying it into a text file.
2)Opening the iso in Brassaro
3)By comparing them

I have the same problem above described. I downloaded TRISQUEL 5.5 ISO, burned a cd, but when I want to run the system without installing it HANGS. Tried 3 times, different cds. Then I downloaded TRISQUEL MINI: after I select language and try to run without installing, it goes to TEXT MODE... I have installed other distros in my pc, never had this problem. Any way, my pc is a compaq HP, 2.00 GB RAM, SO 32 bits, Plaque Intel Atom. (PS. Trisquel Mini runs perfectly in graphic mode on my notebook. "Problem" of text mode happens only on my desktop. Trisquel 5.5 hangs both on my desktop and on my notebook.)

I had the hang problem also on a HP Pavilion a410y 1 gig of ram.
Anyways, it was hanging took my dog for a walk. Came back less than an hour later. Didn't think it installed. Rebooted and now running, the newest mini version. The mini version is designed for older systems, etc.

We'll see what I want to do next.

Liked the idea of an all free OS and a unix-ish type of box.
