I'd recommend against installing it in VirtualBox. If you intend to replace Windows with GNU/Linux, just install Trisquel on your PC. Running it in VirtualBox is a hassle and waste of time you don't have to go through. If you *REALLY* want to, use GNUPG to check the ISO, but I *highly*

Hi Tomlukeywood 1.So even if my old pentium 4 is a 3.0ghz processor you wouldn't recommend installing the full version? 2.to answer your question, I was doing anything during the install, just staring at the screen and all of a sudden got that ugly red screen I might ever have nightmares
