However, wouldn't there be some 'restart' at some point in the install  
process


No, there wouldn't. You only restart once the install is over. You can even  
delay this restart if you started some work/game on the Live system (while  
installing) and want to end it first.

Says either CD/DVD has got problems or HDD is old/etc.

Sum-check the ISO:
$ md5sum trisquel_7.0_amd64.iso

It should be ef6b33d2959dbbb6016188868975091f according to  
http://cdimage.trisquel.info/trisquel-images/trisquel_7.0_amd64.iso.md5



I mean, I COULD probably work out some complicated gateway setup where I  
'Torify' or 'VPNify' the Ethernet connection coming in to the laptop for the  
Install


According to  
http://cdimage.trisquel.info/trisquel-images/trisquel_7.0_amd64.iso.manifest  
the Live system has everything to setup OpenVPN from the NetworkManager  
applet (the package network-manager-openvpn-gnome is listed). If you need  
another VPN client, then you could separately download the related packages  
from http://packages.trisquel.info (using a secure connection) and install  
them in the RAM of the live system with 'sudo dpkg -i'. You should then be  
able to set the VPN up from NetworkManager.


It is not that complicated.
