I often ran into that with the Trisquel 7 graphical installer. The solution was to use the text installer instead. I'm referring to the text mode option for the regular Trisquel 7 image, not the netinstall image. The graphical installer has worked fine for me with Trisquel 8, though. > Could it be that the measly RAM has filled up at that point?

The Trisquel 7 ISO is a little smaller than the Trisquel 8 ISO. It's 1.5 GB. Do you have a USB drive large enough for that? I always found the Trisquel 7 text installer to be very reliable.
