tui installer on netinst iso (13.4) says 320mb is required:
This system does not have enough memory to be supported by this program. At least 320 megabytes of memory are required. If you continue, unpredictable and broken behavior will likely result. You should reboot now and add memory or find some other program to use.
it does allow you to continue anyway, which switches to ‘low memory’ expert mode install. 320mb also gives this error. 384mb does not, but still enters the special install mode, where i was able to load enough installer components to set up networking to start an install (virt-man). it did lose part of the display font partway through but it did finish and reboot ok.

Interesting! I wonder why I was hitting the memory deadlock on boot, but yours booted OK. I might run a local VM, use dietpi, then clone the resulting VM to the hosting provider using Clonezilla.
