I am having trouble finding information from RedHat on installing version 7.1 on a system with low memory. I am installing onto a laptop with 24megs. (The installation is PCMCIA/network)
you should be able to install it with no problems, what are you going to be doing with it? like more X or terminal type stuff. 24 megs isn't too much these days and if your gonna be running apps in X i would recommend an upgrade.
I can't install it, that is the problem. It comes back with a not enough memory error when it is loading anaconda. I've tweaked the ramdisk_size values to no avail.
Would be nice if I could somehow map the memory to a different computer's hard drive during the installation process. I realize it would be slow, but I don't even know/think that it is possible.
