bsides the mandrake graphical installer probably requires 32MB
minimum. most X servers will eat up at least 14MB when starting up (heck,
on my box the X server eats 80MB -- 32MB register space + 16MB frame
buffer + 32MB real memory).
2MB.. will boot, in TEXT mode, prolly with libc4. the later distros eat
too much ram (sound familiar? :)
