I think this is the (historical) default, so that people with
only 4-8 MB of RAM don't get into trouble ;-)
Where 4 MB isn't sufficient anymore with a GENERIC kernel.
You need at least 6 MB or so to boot, then compile a custom
kernel and then, if you are lucky, can perhaps run with 4 MB.
But that information is about 1-2 years old, don't know, if
we perhaps already need 6-8 MB nowadays...
Though it's zillions better than M$ crap.
