i haven't ever installed anything on a z50, but on a few other low 
memory/disk machines. try piping the ftp download directly to tar. don't 
remember exactly how it's done, but it's pretty much just a matter of 
exiting to a shell and typing a few commands instead of using sysinst 
for the download/extract step. you could also try to install one set at 
a time i guess, but i don't know if that will help you all the way...
