It seems like very wrong is happening with 2.4 kernels. With the 2.2 kernel, during an FTP install on a 64MB box, around 24MB of memory is free at beginning of install: 22MB: stage2 in ramdisk 2MB: stage1 in initrd (ramdisk) 11MB: runinstall2 (perl processus for DrakX) 2MB: X server ----- 37MB allocated, gives 26MB free. trying a perl -e '"x" x 25_000_000' works with the 2.2, whereas not even 6MB can be allocated when using the 2.4 (tested with chmouel's and rh's fisher one). That makes nearly 20MB of memory missing!! For the moment, i switch back the boot kernel to 2.2 cu Pixel.
