To run the installer you MUST reboot because you are re-partitioning a drive, and you CANNOT guarantee that what you write in RAM is preserved on reboot, so writing in RAM is foolish. In all other cases you don't need to waste RAM like that.
Most decent distros already include a tool to create a bootable USB drive (sometimes they also download the ISO)
