Bug Description

When I ran the installer, I got a dialog box that says

You need at least 256MB of memory to run the installer!

I thought for sure that my mother-in-law's computer had 256MB.
After looking a little closer, I found that it only has 255.488.

Maybe instead of bailing out, could it put up a warning that says "You only have X amount of memory, but the installer requires 256. Installation may fail as a result. Are you sure you want to continue?"

I could write a patch for that if it's desired.

That was fixed in Wubi rev 503, please test it and comment here.
You should now see a warning, but you can opt to continue with the installation.
