For that matter, I am not sure you can do the GUI install with what you have. On the other hand, you should be able to configure X and boot in the GUI mode after you have it installed. Part of the problem with installing from the live CD is that it takes extra memory to uncompress things from the CD, and it also uses some RAM as a drive to remember changes and added packages.
