Not sure what you mean. When the installation system is downloaded, it's being loaded into ram. It has a 4 part thing. Once that is done, the installation starts.

2)I have 160MB memory,so is it safe to use X based 11.0 installer or would be better to use : install textmode=1 at the install boot prompt?

If you have less than 256MB RAM, you will need to setup a swap partition first, or the installer will probably fail. Also, please list you system specs. Since you say you have 160MB, I assume you are using a PCI PowerMac(Beige) or a Beige G3?
