Yes, but I can almost guarantee that the results will be interesting if 
you turn off swap at this point. ;)

The command is swapoff /dev/your_swap_partition

Expect a delay and a lot of disk activity while the system attempts to 
comply. It's a pretty good bet the installer will run out of memory and 
crash at 8M.
