This reduces the memory requirements by 128MB:
	Fedora-15-i686-Live-Desktop.iso
	Fedora requires 640 MB of memory to install, but you only have 256 MB
	on this machine.

And even creating swap space in advance does not help - but a fix is underway:
	Fedora 15 Live refuses to install to disk on 256MB RAM, but installs fine with 2 simple workarounds
