To be fair, they probably didn't have a desktop to carry along for the ride. But then I guess I could counter that the problem here is I couldn't even run the installer with less than 384MB RAM. I dropped it down to 256MB after install but then had to bump it back up again - and I expect the first time I run yum I'll want to put it back to 512MB. I had been trying to reduce VM memory sizes to run more at once... Jon. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
