I've been grappling with the same issue. I'm trying to run on a machine with 512MB, Linux with a minimal (LXDE) desktop. Seems really strange to me that it can't even initialize. It says: Error occurred during initialization of VM Could not reserve enough space for object heap Could not create the Java machine. I added: Needs["JLink`"]; ReinstallJava[JVMArguments -> "-Xmx100m"]; to $UserBaseDirectory/Kernel/init.m I fiddled with the values up and down. No luck. Even went into the code in SystemFiles/Links/JLink/Kernel/InstallJava.m and changed the extraArgs default. Nothing seems to help. Doesn't sound reasonable to me that Mathematica need so many hundreds of megabytes just to start up. Any ideas?
