The alternate installer works fine, but I first need to try out the live 
CD to see if it supports my particular machine, and the applications I 
use.  So I download the Live CD ISO of necessity, first.

Then, when I decide to install, I could do another long download of the 
Alternate Install ISO, but with my moderate-rate Internet speed, it is 
easier (and quicker) to work-around the crash during the ubiquity 
slide-show, by simply (while running the live CD, and before clicking on 
the Install icon) use the package manager to remove the ubiquity 
slide-show.

That way, I don't have to download another ISO image, and it then 
doesn't crash while copying files, and the installation completes 
successfully.

That has become my standard installation procedure on machines with only 
512 megabytes of RAM (some of which do not support more RAM).
