I have already done one isntall on a Compaq SFF that has 256Mb memory.  
It went well, I did not feel I had any challenges with the install.  As 
compared to the Compaq SFF with 512Mb.

It would be nice if we could at least have an override to 'try it 
anyway'.  I mean what could go wrong with only 232Mb???  ;)
