One of our installfest potential attendees has a 486 with 16MB RAM and 
500MB HD. I'm comfortable with the 500MB as long as we don't install 
Gnome or KDE. I have not checked the Red HAT docs, but is 16MB 
feasible with the Red Hat installer, using the mem= parameter. I would 
still advise her to have 32MB or more
