Dumb question: has anyone discussing this actually *tried* installing on a low memory system lately...? The reason I ask is that I am typing this on a "thin-client" Toshiba Tecra 500CDT (P/120MHz, 32MB) running LM8.2/IceWm which installed _first_time_ in *graphical* mode... made me VERY happy! :^) Even KDE runs; just too slow for my liking...
