It sounds as if you are running from floppies when you do this?
Install a base system into the harddrive by using 'clone' (once the
floppy has booted);
reboot mu from the harddrive (either from DOS or straight through LILO)
then install all those addons
What's happening is that mu is trying to make another other ramdisk & its
running out of memory....
Once its installed to the harddrive, it doesn't need ramdisks...
Good luck!
