If leaving out the OO packages fixes it then it does look like you are 
running into some sort of low-memory situation, though 1Gb should be more 
than enough (I was seeing the problems I was referring to with something 
like 256Mb). The only other explanation I can think of is that you are 
installing without any swap space allocated, since that would increase the 
pressure on whatever memory you did have.
