Which is a ridiculous state of affairs IMHO. What if the user only wants a 
light desktop system, or a headless server. For these things 128M should be 
fine. Not exactly nippy but would run OK.

As things stand at the moment, the standard anaconda installer requires as 
much memory as a full gnome/kde desktop. Is it just me me thinks this is just 
a tad silly.

There are many desktops out there that run fine with 128M, XFCe or fvwm for 
instance. XFCE is even part of extras. So an installer that requires more ram 
that the system it is installing.... go figure.
