I was shocked to see that my old old trusty HP Kayak XU tower was finally

I burned the snv_64a DVD and discovered that the 512MB of RAM was no
longer reasonable for the installer.
You can do text installations with less than 768MB. The gui install is
what requires the 768MB (which we're hoping to change with the Dwarf
Caiman new gui installer project).
Running the Netbeans and SUN Studio installers at first boot via a
transient
SMF service or via the JDS Postrun mechanism (with appropriate console
messages), instead of from the miniroot will bring down the miniroot size
requirements significantly in SXDE.
