I have installed FC6 + Eclipse on a 5GB partition on an old Dell
Inspiron 4100 laptop: 256MB of RAM, Pentium III, etc.

I used the graphical installer, from the DVD image of FC6 which I had
used successfully before to install on an old HP Pavilion [Also a Pentium III
but with 320MB RAM].

However, for the laptop install I unchecked ALL packages (no office/productivity)
and only after the install succeeded did I install Eclipse and the GCC tool chain
/libraries.

I don't know if that will help or not.
