IIRC, SNF doesn't install X at all. I think the 32mb requirement is more for the installer as DrakX goes in GUI mode (but I think you can do the install in text mode the same way as with 8.0). All the SNF configuration is done via a special HTTPS port (8200 I believe), so you do the configuration by connecting to it on that port from another machine. -- MandrakeSoft Security, OpenPGP key available on www.keyserver.net 1024D/FE6F2AFD 88D8 0D23 8D4B 3407 5BD7 66F9 2043 D0E5 FE6F 2AFD Current Linux kernel 2.4.8-34.1mdk uptime: 9 days 11 hours 20 minutes.
