You can install a virtual guest using extra RAM (assuming your host has it) and
then reduce it afterwards. AFAIK, the amount needed to run an already installed
system is no greater than before.
Why does it need so much to start with? It's just a graphical program
that asks a few questions and then installs a few packages. Can't see
why it would need such huge amounts of RAM.
