Bug Description
Binary package hint: ubiquity
This bug is inspired by the following thread on the mailing list:

A new option was added to Ubquity by Bug #148341 that allows low-memory machines to boot into a lighter version of Ubuntu for Live Installation.
I propose that the memory be ascertained and the only-ubiquity option should be automatically used if the machine has less than the required RAM.

In fact, for Hardy we're likely just going to default to only-ubiquity across the board and make the full live CD experience an option.
