Not sure what you were laughing about but if you are running Fedora with 256 MB RAM, you are in a minority of Fedora users. I would say, the average Fedora user has anywhere between 1 GB and 4 GB of RAM and with every release, the amount of people using systems with even more RAM keep growing. The installer used to do a number of hacks to keep the memory usage low that affected consistency and sometimes created hard to debug issues which ultimately negatively impacted users. Some of the recent changes use more RAM but makes the installer much more streamlined and makes the environment more consistent with that of the installed system. It is a trade off.
