We need to check if we do have enough RAM for installation. 1 GB is recommended.

Check either at boot-time, or at Tribe start, maybe introduce a "installer only" mode which is more leightweight.

Installer only mode would be nice! Just X and tribe.

Tribe depends on Kdelibs and Marble, seems "installer only" mode means more a new installer.
Live RAM usage was brought way down, just lately brought back up a bit by enabling desktop effects again by default in live.
1 Gb as minimum can be lowered a bit, to 750 Mb, but is that a goal anymore with the drop of i686?

We can use a simple Qprocess like this:

QProcess p;
p.start("awk", QStringList() << "/MemTotal/ { print $2 }" << "/proc/meminfo");

can be even
p.start("awk", QStringList() << "/MemFree/ { print $2 }" << "/proc/meminfo");

Needs testing.

Tested at VirtualBox giving 1024mb to the virtual machine, Tribe throws we have "999mb" so i have changed the minimal requirements to > 990 for the next relelase.
