Among these:
* 512MB is a nice step up from the 128MB by default (this one scales
based on your hosts memory)
I'm not opposed to bumping from 128M to something else. I'd like to see some indication though other than "seems reasonable" as to what the value should be. For instance, if a Fedora 12 install doesn't work without 256M, that's a solid argument to bump the allocation. Short term, I'd like to see this globally configurable.
I keep a patch in the SUSE version for quite some time now that bumps the default to 384 for qemu-kvm. That was the first "round" number where an openSUSE installation worked.
If someone works up a patch and tests at least a couple types of guests
to confirm that they all install with that number, I'd be happy to apply
it (although we need some trickery to support older pc versions).
