You can *run* Fedora with very little RAM, but you can't *install* it
with as little, due to memory usage by dnf during install when there is
no swap partition. Exactly how much is needed varies a bit depending on
whether you're doing a live install, what installer interface you're
using, how many packages you're installing, whether it's a full moon,
etc...I've seen it work with 512MB and fail with 1.5.
