The presentation mode did the trick for now.
Someone who is not aware of that new feature may have a bit of a
frustrating day when doing a similar install on an external HDD
The thing is that this was all done while using a Live USB on another
USB slot :-)
The Wifi of the old box doesn't seem to work yet all the rest looks OK
at first glance
Lubuntu running on a no-name chinese AMD 1500mhz with no more then 256MB
RAM, and 64MB of that is shared video RAM in S3 graphics
It runs like a donkey in a miniskirt, but it runs without tripping...
I might put the first Lubuntu machine out in the wild this weekend!
Free as in no owner!

You can disable the screen blanking with
xset s off -dpms
Feel free to add that to the autostart of any installed system you
want to disable this default 'feature'. This was important back in
the CRT monitor days, but is less needed in the current LCD monitor
days.
Laptops do not have CRT monitors, of course
You can also install xscreensaver and run
xscreensaver -no-splash
you can run
xscreensaver-demo
to disable the screen saver altogether through the GUI (which is the
easiest way to configure it)

Might it be possible to
turn ON, presentation mode, when the installer runs?
When installing Lubuntu to a USB connected HDD (using the normal
installer) then the sleepmode or screensaver mode, seems to try to
mount the usb drive on wakup. This apperently disrupts the installer
errors popup and stuff crashes.
I now manually put the machine in presentation mode. And so far so
good...
Maybe there is a better way?
BTW, i discovered why the floppy did not work, there was a complete
bunny hiding on the inside... So i will give that option also another
try.

Hey,
There are a couple of ways to do this.
1.) install on the harddrive by putting it in another machine.
2.) Boot via ethernet (if possible) and install that way
3.) use mkusb (or dd if you are more confident that I am at always
remembering if/of) to write an ISO to a harddrive. Install this
harddrive in the CD/DVD slot (if possible)
And of course Nio's suggestion is very good if you can find a floppy
disk :D
The last one I had around perished a few years ago. Maybe a second
hand shop has a box of them hiding somewhere?
