F15 - 640MB RAM Requirement Issue

[Freak Trick]

Hi,



I have been using F15 Beta for almost a month now. I currently have 512MB RAM and I must say, it has been working fairly normal (in fact the experience) was better then when XP was on the same machine. I was a bit surprised to know that installing F15 Final requires a minimum of 640MB RAM and what was more surprising that the installation will not proceed. Moreover, F15 Final running from the Live CD was working quite usual and there was little impact on performance, of course, besides the typical Live CD performance constraints.

I was just curious why was this (blocking of installation) done on the F15 Final Release and more so why is it not allowing the installation instead of, lets say, giving some kind of warning and proceeding. I was also wondering if there is some way around it?

Thanks!
