I don't know how to progress.
This is instaled on a a Fasthosts virtual server. Linux and an mySQL database.

this is not a Install Tool problem. Your hoster limited the memory (see memory_limit variable) of your PHP installation to (probably) 8 MB. When you try to import the database, the SQL-file has to be loaded into PHP, which then exceeds your memory limit. If your hoster has a standard phpMyAdmin for all users, try to import it there, the memory limit may be higher.
but a word: with 8 MB memory limit you will not have many fun with TYPO3 - try to get your hoster giving you at least 16 MB.
You can also try to deactivate the memory_limit option by .htaccess or ini_set('memory_limit',-1);
it works on some (bad configured) servers.

if you thought that would be a problem, why did you assign a bug report?!
Better use the list next time - also there are more frequent readers ;)
