So exactly what, of Alan suggestions are not necessary for a 128MB ( low men machine ) And how do you come to the conclusion that he's throwing hate at fedora?
First, the post was about less than 512, and my ps3 certainly has less (256). A network install using rescue.img (renamed to netinst.iso or boot.iso partway through the F9 development process) and nfs or http works fine for me. I may have to do text or vnc installs, I don't recall. Also selecting fewer packages helps, but you want fewer packages anyway. For 128 it may get harder, I haven't tried that small in a while, but that's a far cry from < 512.
There used to be a project whose aim was to install Fedora on low memory machines - the approach was to use a different installer. For the life of me I can't remember or find the name of that project though.
