Hi Nio
At boot option in the installation on my desktop I added mem=224M. There 
was no progress shown after some 20 minutes spinning of the dvd and I 
stopped it.
But at mem=256M the installation with manual partitioning went smoothly. 
The memory usage is now 135 MB right after boot. It increases over time 
to 145 MB without any input.
Looks like a neat value for L16.04 i386.
