Bug Description
Binary package hint: casper
ubuntu amd64 desktop and edubuntu amd64 desktop are not able to install with 256mb memory using the 20070411 build. When attempting to open the installer, the window will sometimes open but it will just be blank or it will not show up at all. At that point, the system becomes unusable and the load continues to increase. It also becomes unusable if trying to open up Firefox, OpenOffice.org Writer, or other applications.
Increasing the memory to 512 immediately solves this.

I wonder if this is speciffic to the amd64 or to vmware. I booted the Live CD in virtualbox with 256mb and was able to launch the installer, firefox and openoffice all at once. I then booted with 192mb of ram. Even then the installer starts.
Michael, could you test the i386 version on your system?
