I think you're limited by the hardware. Only one person in the current Linux Lite Hardware Database is running a Pentium III, and they're on the Linux Lite 2.x series. Your computer was introduced in 2000, and it is on the edge of Linux Lite's minimum hardware requirements.
I think it's great you've gotten this far. I don't think Linux Lite 3.0 is going to install, though. I do think you'd be well served by either installing the Linux Lite 2.x series, or by using what you've learned so far to attempt installing a distribution focusing on Old Computers. Consider this list.
P.S.: If you choose to go with the Linux Lite 2.x series, I would recommend installing version 2.6, not 2.8. Version 2.6 comes with a different kernel, which may work better with your hardware. You can always use Lite Upgrade to get to version 2.8 afterwards, but you'll stay on the same kernel that way. And my hunch is that will be better for you.
