[ale] Old Laptop

[Fulton Green]

Just curious ... even if installing in text mode and selecting a server
config, does Red Hat 9 refuse to install if RAM < 32 MB?  I also have a
90 MHz Pentium-based laptop (albeit 24 MB RAM) in my collection.  RH 7.3
did install, even with XFree86 running 800x600 8-bit color, but that
version of GNOME seemed to cause some extremely random crashes ...
