Thanks (to you and Dennis, for both replies), it's good to hear about
the anaconda work. Available RAM is probably the outstanding concern,
then.
I do check on installs with low RAM periodically. Last time I checked,
IIRC, a DVD text install with 384MB was possible. I don't recall if a
text network install with 384MB was possible. Graphical DVD install with
512MB worked (just barely); graphical network install didn't. All
scenarios assume some swap space is made available at the partitioning
step. (Network installs use more RAM because they have to set up repos
and download repo metadata before any swap space is available).
I suspect if we set a cut-off at 512MB we might be able to get away with
'installer images only' for F21. If we want to support hardware with
less than 512MB (or even more less than 384MB) it's going to be very
difficult, I think, but we could ask anaconda folks if there's any
possibility.
