Unfortunately, those numbers are way out of date. See the comments in
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=682555 . Currently, it requires at
least as much RAM to do a text-based install of F15 as a GUI install, which
doesn't make sense, and is why I asked whether it would be possible to make a
custom image to do a minimal (possibly text-based) install using reduced memory.
