Don't run "toram". The toram option copies the entire compressed volume from the CD into RAM which means you're automatically going to lose 50MB of RAM right there. Remember that it's not copying individual files, it's grabbing the entire compressed filesystem image (you can't leave anything out). Without "toram" it will just access all that stuff from CD. You'll see a slight performance hit but if what you're looking to do is run gcc at the console then you won't be using much out of the base distro anyway.
The only real downside is that you can't take the CD out. If that's an issue, plug in a USB memory stick and do a poorman's install to that. Boot with the LiveCD then the system will switch over to running off USB and free up your CD-ROM drive.
