Let me check that I understand that correctly: are you saying that it is simply not possible to install with 8MB or that you need swap to install with 8MB? When I tried to install 4.1.1 on a machine with 8MB RAM I certainly did have a swap partition, but it did not seem to have been activated during installation as the installation failed with an out of memory message. Should sysinstall maybe call "swapon -a" after creating partitions?
