It's hardcoded, but I highly doubt it actually needs 768mb exactly. 
Unless it does something annoying like automatically starting apache,
postgresql, glassfish/appserv, jds/x11, wbem, and other services during
install, it shouldn't need this requirement.  A value more like 320mb is
needed, nothing more.
