So, because it's only me and a few  other people reporting problems,
we shouldn't rock the boat?
Really the only difference between me and you, is that I got the crashes first.
Or maybe you really enjoy hunting down botched installs.  Does it make
the installation process more interesting?

On Fedora they don't have this problem.  The installer won't run in
less than 700MB RAM, if you want to force it to run, (like if you have
a swap file) you have to tweak the configs:
