support for low internal memory devices #88

I have a very old mobile (GT-S5360) and I want to install Debian text-only on it. It has very low internal memory (about 150 MB). I tried to install Debian wheezy but failed. the popup "unpacking a rootfs this may take some time" closes after some time but no rootfs is created. I think this is because of no storage space left. I have successfully installed aboriginal and it takes about 80 MB on my internal memory card. So, Debian will take more space, I think. So, I was asking, can it be unpacked on the sd card?
