If you can think of anything else now is the time to speak up. It
should be stressed that these memory requirements set the floor... Not
all distribution sets and/or packages on the disc will install using
the minimum amount of ram, for example kde-lite and gnome-lite
packages will hang sysinstall unless you have 64MB ~ 128MB of ram,  I
did not thoroughly test this so speak up now and I'll get you some
numbers to work with.
