Do you mean that it works with 330 MB RAM or more?

This can be fixed.

No and yes :-)

No, if you want to use a whole drive. Then you run at the basic OBI level.

Yes, if you want dual boot (within one drive), and you can use gparted
which is available from the 9w graphical desktop environment. After
partitioning you run the installer at the advanced OBI level.

What warnings?

user: guru

This can be changed into the OEM installation, where the end user will
be prompted to select user name and password. (Such tarballs exist for
several Ubuntu flavour tarballs.)
