Won't go past trhe "Who are you" bit.
I don't wish to have a password.
The continue button is alluminated but won't do anything.
Does it have to have a password?

1290975 2012-07-26 08:03:00 Apparently you do.
I put one in & it moved on.
Just hope I can remove it later.

1290976 2012-07-30 06:39:00 Dont know about lubuntu but with ubuntu once you have logged in there is an option to "autologin" which would get you to the desktop without having to enter a password.
You will still need to enter the password to get root access to install software etc. (although I think you can get that over ridden too if you wish but that makes it alot less secure)

1290977 2012-07-30 06:51:00 You are correct regarding the auto login
However I was unable to complete the installation due to insuficient memory.
Finished up having to install the alternate/lite version.
This is on an old Pentium III with 500mb ram.
Have been playng round & getting familiar with it.
Been trying to get it on to my home network.
What an act, bit like setting up win 3.1
