Hi, There is an alternative method for installing on Low memory computers already. This is OBI https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OBI https://launchpad.net/one-button-installer
I'd be glad to help, and I'm sure Nio, the developer, would be willing to help as well. It is much different method of installing (AFAIK ubiquity makes a chroot and installs). OBI has very low memory requirements. The lowest I have personally tested is 128MB, and it works fine from the live environment. I think OBI uses about 30-40MB MB RAM at its peak (during the actual copying). I was running ToriOS which runs in about 60-70MB RAM on average, so I still had RAM to spare. Anyhow, I'd also be interested in an alternative to ubiquity for installing in the debian installer fashion. A dialog, or FLTK version would be much smaller.
