Unfortunately, I am talking about the text mode in the live CD of

Can you not let that particular form without text and follow up?
Please, that some one correct me, but it must be a bug of the
installer software and so, you shouldn't have problems with other
installations.
The graphic installer which takes about 10 minutes to load (maybe
even more than that) simply crashes. Will an older version of
Trisquel support my old computer (it has 128 MB memory and 233 MHz)?

I think that you could try install Trisquel 3.5 (maybe it gnome
interface is lighter and also, e.g., my dad's laptop cannot boot
plymouth which is in Trisquel from 4.0 ), and when it is installed,
try to use use the system although it was very slow and then you
should be able to install (previosly downloaded from another computer)
selected packages from a CD, for example lxde (although remove default
packages is not encouraged). Alternatively, why you don't buy a
network adapter? They are cheaper than 10 euros, or you can borrow one
from another computer during the installation process.
I did manage to install an old version of Debian from 2005 which
simply let me select "no adapter available" (or something similar) in
the text installer.
I think that you should not experience the adapter problem in most of
the other alternatives that you try.
