I had the same trouble the solution is quite simple but I'm at home now and I cannot access my mails right now. But the solution mainly consists of changing the wgstart.sh to call a wgorainst.sh in /tmp in stead of the Cd location! To do this you have to copy wgstart.sh to /tmp and wgorainst.sh. You edit wgstart.sh to call wgorainst.sh on /tmp and then you edit the wgorainst.sh on tmp to call orains where normally it would call orainst/m (the Motif installer) ou stikll need 80 Mb of ram minimum otherwise the relink will not work!
But you can also install via a telnet session or any other character terminal!
You then start installing calling /tmp/wgstart.sh in stead of ./wgstart.sh
