following bug:

Could someone check the current git content and make sure we capture
this change in 'master' and any further update on the F15 branch?

Subject: Re: [Fedora-spins] 640MB memory for remix

As per our web site minimum memory requirement is 768 MB.

I think we must revert the release notes.

Download Requirements

   - 400 MHz Pentium Pro or better processor (comparable AMD, Cyrix, and VIA
   processors also acceptable)
   - At least 768 MB memory (RAM), 1 GB recommended for best performance
   - 10 GB disk space / storage

But acording to the release notes.....


   - Recommended for text-mode: 200 MHz Pentium Pro or better
   - Recommended for graphical: 400 MHz Pentium Pro or better
   - Minimum RAM for text-mode: 256 MiB
   - Minimum RAM for graphical: 384 MiB
   - Recommended RAM for graphical: 512 MiB
