Should be fine, assuming you've got enough swap space. I actually have
no idea how much memory is used in the creation process.

That's the problem. The livecd-creator tools uses a temporary directory
in /var/tmp/livecd-creator/build-<random> so you need at least 3GB free
disk space in /var. One way to get out of this mess is to add more disk
space to your system and symlink /var/tmp/livecd-creator into that.

(Your partitioning scheme is weird. Personally, I always just have / as
a single file system such as not to run into issues like these. YMMV.)

Oh.. If anyone got a patch for checking there is enough free disk space
in /var/tmp/livecd-creator please come forward. It would be nice to bail
out with a nice error message.
