The live system install has worked for me on my older machines having 
512 megabytes of RAM, including on Lubuntu 16.04.

It hasn't yet failed on a live system install with 512 megabytes of RAM.

There was a problem with level 12.04, where it was necessary to remove 
the ubiquity slide-show, and there were problems getting zram working, 
but it has been flawless in the last several releases.
