On a slightly related note, I have a laptop with 768 megs RAM, 16 megs of 
which are shared with video

When I try to install SXCE using the new installer (first entry on the 
GRUB screen) it tells me I don't have 768 megs and that I have to use the 
old installer

Is that test hard-coded or is there a flag to bypass it? Is 752 megs close 
enough to work, or does it really really require 768 megs?

later,
chris
