Folks,
I can find loadds of systems with 128MB RAM in my region.
Unfortunately neither F13 nor F14 fit for those systems.
And older versions are EOL.
Can't we make a spin for systems with low resources?
Thanks,

You'd need to rework rpm/yum/anaconda first, otherwise there's not a lot of point.

well, given that anaconda currently requires more than 768MB, a spin isn't going to help. ;(
I'd suggest working with kernel and anaconda folks to try and get memory usage down.
Also, note that Fedora now builds for i686, so if the machines predate that, your only choice is trying to start a "i486/i586" secondary arch effort.

What about using TUI version of the anaconda?

I don't know how much memory that saves really.
You could try it out and let us know? :)
