Install on 32 meg celeron machine

[Steve Watford]

They are running IE something. They are on SP 6.  Although they are slow and the
 graphics are limited. 800x600 16 color I think. They work.  FC1 refuses to try
to install, anaconda just exits. RH9 did install, although it won't run X
without swapping to disk so much that the HD starts throwing timeout errors. 
Guess I'm just going to have  upgrade the ram.  Funny that for linux we need to
upgrade the hardware that WinNT will run on.  Sort of a reversal.  I know there
are lighter versions of linux out there, but we have settled on RH,Fedora.

Thanks
