I hold the modern record (Fedora 17 and later) of successful install in 383MB RAM (using the default Anaconda graphical install of the default graphical desktop) on both i686 and x86_64. See my post "successful install using 383MB RAM" to this mailing list on 05/15/2012 and the ensuing thread, and a separate thread of 09/29/2012. On my ancient laptop 383MB is the total RAM, but you can set the limit arbitrarily for any machine by using " mem=NNNm " on the kernel boot command line. Besides, it isn't that hard to try it yourself. Use a USB2.0 flash memory device, HAVE A SWAP PARTITION, and it will take significantly less than two hours. And if you install from a Fedora Live media "spin" instead of from DVD, then it takes even less time. -- _______________________________________________ Anaconda-devel-list mailing list Anaconda-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/anaconda-devel-list
