Wonder if this why the articles about not keeping laptops in your lap? 
:)

How much memory?  I had a problem on a system once where selecting a lot
of packages during the install would fail.  It seemed that the system
which had 128MB at the time was running out of memory and the install
would fail.  By selecting a minimal install I was then able to load
additional packages after the initial install.  I subsequently upgraded
the memory to 1GB and did not have any problems after that.
