- Fedora &PRODVER; supports graphical and text-based installations. Only systems with more than 397 MB of RAM can use the graphical installer. Systems with less RAM automatically scale back to using the text-based installer. Note that you must still have a minimum of 137 MB of RAM for installation to proceed even in text mode. If you prefer to use the text-based installer, type <option>linux text</option> at the <prompt>boot:</prompt> prompt.
