-During a low memory install, not all components will be available.
-One of the limitations is that you won't be able to choose a
-language for the installation.
+The first measure taken to reduce memory consumption by the installer
+is to disable translations. If that is not sufficient, the installer
+will only load components essential to complete a basic installation
+by default. This reduces the functionality of the installation system.
+You will be given the opportunity to load additional components manually,
+but you should be aware that each component you select will use
+additional memory and thus may cause the installation to fail.
