Frank,
Will this work on an old 32-bit Thinkpad that's maxed out with 512MB of RAM? Installing from DVD fails.
You can try upgrading piecemeal. Some major set of packages, python, then gtk and so on
Rahul,
That's what I was thinking. The roadblock I run into with a conventional DVD install/upgrade is:

Hey there!
I had the same problem, could not install or upgrade with DVD, netinstall or preupgrade one Thinkpad R51 with 512 MB RAM.
I did succeed with distro-sync and is working wonderfully (we use XFCE).
First I removed a lot of games, multimedia programs and others (it's my 4 year old's computer) so that I would have as much free space as possible and then, due to lack of space (still), I installed the fedora-release package and upgraded a few packages that did not pull many dependecies, and then distro-synced into Fedora 15 the rest.
Greetings! Ester
