Description of problem:
The minimum system memory requirements listed in the Fedora 15 release notes
are far too low. After some testing, Dave Lehman (of the anaconda-devel@
fame), discovered that the limits need to be adjusted according to his patch
against Fedora 15 anaconda (see
https://www.redhat.com/archives/anaconda-devel-list/2011-May/msg00012.html).

To summarize ...
* the absolute minimum amount of memory needed for an installation on i386 or
x86_64 is 640 MiB.
* 1152 MiB is the minimum required to install *without* a swap partition
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
* Revision 14.98 Fri Apr 15 2011
Actual results:
1.3.1. Processor and memory requirements for x86 Architectures
<snip>
Recommended for text-mode: 200 MHz Pentium Pro or better
Recommended for graphical: 400 MHz Pentium Pro or better
Minimum RAM for text-mode: 256 MiB
Minimum RAM for graphical: 384 MiB
Recommended RAM for graphical: 512 MiB
1.3.2. Processor and memory requirements for x86_64 architectures
Minimum RAM for text-mode: 256 MiB
Minimum RAM for graphical: 384 MiB
Recommended RAM for graphical: 512 MiB
Expected results:
1.3.1. Processor and memory requirements for x86 Architectures
<snip>
Recommended for text-mode: 200 MHz Pentium Pro or better
Recommended for graphical: 400 MHz Pentium Pro or better
Minimum RAM for graphical: 640 MiB
Recommended RAM for graphical: 1152 MiB
1.3.2. Processor and memory requirements for x86_64 architectures
Minimum RAM for graphical: 640 MiB
Recommended RAM for graphical: 1152 MiB
Additional info:
* cmdline installations may be able to proceed with less than 640Mib, but that
isn't exhaustively tested and cmdline mode in not an interactive installation
method.
* 1152 MiB is the new recommended size since that is the minimum memory size
where you are able to install *without* requiring a swap partition.
