Doesn't look like it. I had my trained monkey run the following test:-

Compaq Deskpro as previous with 512 MiB RAM. Single FAT32 partition on 
HDD. Saucy live CD booted into live session. Swapoff run to disable 
zRAM. Start installation with default settings. As soon as swap was 
created and started the system began to use it. Max usage just over 10 
MiB. Installation successful. Tried 13.04 on this setup with similar 
swap usage and another successful install.

Probably :D

We need to run Saucy installs on as much hardware as possible as I 
believe there is more to this than just RAM size. I suspect some old CD 
drives aren't really up to it. I know the one in this machine is 
somewhat erratic.
