Umm, don't you think that the Anaconda developers know what is
required, and that the rather minimal text-mode install is designed to
use less memory?
OP: There may be useful info in the other VTs when the error occurs.
If you can't find a workaround, try Debian, which has much better
support than Fedora for small memory machines, due to the different
goals of the projects. If you want to run a GUI on 256 MB, you might
want to choose something less memory-hungry than Gnome or KDE.
