This looks like a good idea.
I also installed Cassandra on a Thinkpad T22 with 256MB of memory. I simply changed the size of the RAM disk from the more than 1GB requested to 230MB. My swap disk is about 500MB ( this was pre configured). Accessing the boot options means pressing F6 from the boot splash screen and modifying the grub command.
Without changing the size of the RAM, it was *painful* to try and run the installer. With the change, the system was quite responsive the whole time and Cassandra was completely installed in about 15-20 minutes.
BTW, once installed 256MB seems quite reasonable for your basic LinuxMint gnome desktop.

Before booting .... when the GRUB boot screen of the Installation CD shows up. It's even indicated on the screen: F6: Other Options .... :wink:
