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.

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?
