Upgrade with little RAM

[Timothy Murphy]

I have a Thinkpad T23 with 512MB RAM,
which I seldom use.
(It is kept in a holiday location.)

It is currently running Fedora-10,
which probably shows when it was last used.
I tried installing Fedora-13 from the KDE Live CD,
and was a bit surprised to find that
it started up OK, but then just hung.

Is this likely to be just shortage of RAM?
