That claim is dead wrong, at least for graphical install of the default Gnome
desktop from full install DVD or USB stick.  I have installed fedora-17-i386
that way successfully using 383MB of RAM [1], and fedora-18-i386 using 511MB
of RAM [2].  I believe that fedora-18 can be installed using less RAM, but
511MB was what I tested.  I believe that the enforced minimum for fedora-15
and fedora-16 was 768MB RAM, which is considerably larger than my successes
with fedora-17 and fedora-18.

I consider that you owe Anaconda a public apology.  You might be able
to squirm out of it if you document your experiments meticulously,
including measurements.
