I don't think 512 MB is going to work for the installer for F15. I am not
sure if preupgrade requirements are less. There is a plan to cut the memory
needed to install down for F16, but it was too late to safely try to get it
in F15.
  

Seen on IRC:
"Anaconda Installer Requires at least 951 M; once Gnome3 is installed 475 M is required"
I use 1024 M for sucessful RC3 Desktop or Soas installs
