[1] One of these machines is an ancient i586. On this machine, RAM is such kind of tight (64MB), any spared memory is valuable. More built-in kernel modules probably will mean the death of Fedora on this class of machines.
I would have thought it already got there.. 64Mb wow?
I have a i586 with 128M of ram running Fedora 8. It doesn't run X, but it works great as a low-capacity web/dhcp/etc server and router.
Do these older/limited machines do anything better now than they did in the 2.4 kernel days?
Good luck trying to get the installer to run on anything less than 512MB these days.
I did an install on 128MiB a few days ago, after manually fixing the fact that we _copy_ stage2.img into RAM before using it. (Did that get fixed for real yet?).
