[ale] DummyQ: Minimum RAM to install RH-7.3

[James P. Kinney III]

I think you can make it work using some boot flags.

linux ram=48M text

at the boot prompt _should_ be OK. Might want to double check that ram
call. It may be memory=48M.

In short, I am pretty sure the absolute bare minimum install ram is 32M,
but you must use the text installer. 

I don't have 7.3 in front of me anywhere to check. There might be a
lowmem flag for the installer as well. Check the f5 key (help) and the
README file on the CD.
