Raising severity as it prohibits installation on any machine without Linux swap partition (i.e. majority of Windows users) and with less than about 300 MB of RAM.

Possible solutions:
1. Create swap file on Windows partition (currently not possible as NTFS module is compiled without write support) or normal swap partition upon startup if there is space on disk.
2. Use text-mode Ubiquity for such machines (I was told Guidalinex had it).
