Yes Literally I did, but as Adam just pointed out running Live just
dumps the squashfs image to the drive and slaps grud on it. I'm not
sure about the install, however I have been tweaking initrd's for
doing a netinstall, I may just find out soon. I wonder though is there
a way to allow Anaconda to be semi smart and realize here I'm running
livecd let's bump down that mem require. In that case it would allow
those a install method with low mem.

Kind Regards,
