Yeah, unfortunately it works however depending on the version of PIX your customer is
using don't bother calling Cisco for help with all of the problems you will face
because you are now running an unsupported configuration.
Newer PIX units don't require 128mb of ram (as you have noticed) however the original
post it was stated that they were upgrading from version 4.0, which one would assume
came on their PIX 1000 or PIX classic, which DOES require the PIX 128Mb ram upgrade.
You are correct however in that the 16mb flash IS required. Thank you for that
correction.
Here is the documentation straight from Cisco if anyone is as confused as I:
(you may need a CCO acct.)

Hi,
We successfully installed pix 5.2(2) on pix with 32mb and 16Mb of
flash (Flash upgraded from the old amtel 2mb flash).
Also, we upgrade customer pix using "outside" interface, downloading new
pix version from our tftp server on internet.
thanks anyway Network Operations
