Fedora: low mem warning with 512 MB!

[Robert L Cochran]

Yes it is -- I believe I originally reported this problem some time ago 
during Beta 1. I was working with Red Hat on a solution for it, but I 
fell behind and got tied up with other matters. My fault. There is a 
possible fix for it available through the Bugzilla (I've forgotten the 
number), but I'm not sure whether I applied it properly.

Your problem happens to me also in Fedora Test, while installing on a 
Sony Vaio PCG-F350 notebook. I simply clicked 'cancel' (or was it 
'ignore'?) at the prompt warning me that memory is low. (The installer 
thinks I have a negative amount of memory.) I did not allow the 
installer to change the partition table at that point. Then the 
installation simply proceeded, without any apparrent problem.
