There is no reason to continue an installation guaranteed to fail.

What has been disputed lately is that the installer needs that amount of the system resource to run. That raises the question why the installer prevents installations on machines that meet system requirements for full Fedora 15 with GNOME or whatever but not being able to run the installer. And a possible solution is already being searched for.
