I'm attempting to upgrade a system from FC6 x86 to F7, and the upgrade

When I switch to a virtual console, I see that anaconda is consuming
100% CPU, and in the upgrade.log the last few lines show assorted
packages with the error:
"Couldn't fork %post: Cannot allocate memory"
This system has 384MB of RAM, so its not starved by any means. Any
one have ideas?

I experienced this as well and got past it by going to console two once the
install began and manually enabling swap. In fact I created an extra
swapfile to ensure there was more than enough available.
