Gerard,

You will need 64 MB RAM to install in text mode and 128 MB to install in GUI
mode for RH 8.0.  And I seriously doubt that your box would run RH 8 with a
GUI desktop such as KDE or Gnome.  I tried to install on a 200 MHz Pentium
box with either 48 or 64 MB and it ran slower then molasses in winter.

TIA,

Jim
