Bug Description

Doing a default installation with the ZFS option enabled, on a system with 2.0 GB physical RAM (actually a Virtualbox VM), the installation went out of memory and OOM killer kicked in, stopping the desktop and leaving me with a shell which just printed OOM messages for additional processes. The system did not recover from this after 5 minutes.

One of the processes OOM killer killed was 'unattended-upgrade' - maybe this does not need to be running on a live image during installation?
