'I have never gotten a gui install with less than 1GB',, sorry for confusing you..But a gui will run (after install) with even less than what I posted above. Doing it from a machine running a GUI with VNC you will get a text installer from anaconda with less than 1gb like I did on that machine. If, KB really meant a 'GUI' install then maybe there's an option I have missed in the anaconda code then. You could in theory rebuild Anaconda for 512MB or greater and get a gui. Because I have many machines with 400 - 512 MB of ram and starx just works with a configured video card. But you would have to keep in mind say 34Mb(initrd) + 160Mb(install.img) = (? )+ (GUI Over Head) = bare minimal for a gui install to get rolling if you rebuild Anaconda. The network install would require more... because of stage 2 installer. John
