Hardware:

Compaq Presario 1720US laptop
P3 1G cpu
256M ram

During first attempt to install (fresh) while selecting custom software
choices the system became very sluggish and eventually crashed the
installer. In trying to recreate the problem the system became sluggish
again but did not crash and once swap was added the system became
responsive again. This could become a big issue for low ram systems
where a custom software selection is made. I believe this can be
verified by someone else that has a low ram system and by using the
"expert" area of the software selection. If you poke around in the
various patterns and also use search to select and deselect packages I
think this problem can be easily reproduced. Perhaps asking to mount the
swap partition before going to the summary screen would be appropriate.
After my laptop install is finished I will repeat the process and try to
reproduce the crash. If successful I will open a bug report.
