I had a similar problem with the install script. My problem was that
it would print a lot of errors saying that it was out of swap space before
it core dumped. I fixed my problem by doing a swapon /dev/hda? (the swap
partition) immediately after the mkswap command to activate the swap
partition so I would have RAM to do the mount. Besides that minor problem
Linux has been fine.
