    This document provides instructions for installing Fedora Core on a low memory system by modifying the LiveCD to reduce the minimum RAM requirement. The steps are to: boot the LiveCD, open a terminal, run commands to become the root user and edit the anaconda file to set the minimum RAM needed to 0, allowing installation on systems with 512MB RAM or less for 32-bit systems.

    Install fedora core in low memory systems

    -Boot into the LiveCD -Open the terminal. -Enter Code: su -The Live system will not ask for root password, it will just make you root user. -Enter Code: gedit /user/sbin/anaconda -Go to line 362, or search for "needed" which will take you there. That line reads Code: needed_ram = int((isys.MIN_RAM + extra_ram) / 1024) -Delete everything after = and replace it with 0, so it reads Code: needed_ram = 0 -Save the file. If you have 512 mb of ram, you shouldn't have to do the swap bit. Note that this only works for 32-bit systems, not 64, according to the comments. I haven't tried this, but wish you luck!
