I'm surprised nobody suggested this: 1) Plop in another DIMM to get yourself above 32Mb, then install, then remove the DIMM. or 2) Remove the hard disk, put it in another machine with at least 32Mb of RAM, install, then remove hard drive, and put it in 20Mb machine. For #2, if the install machine is i686 and the 20Mb machine is less than i686, you will need to downgrade glibc, kernel, gzip to i386 versions prior to moving the HD to the older machine, or else the glibc et al wont work. Other than that, it is pretty simple IMHO. Hope this helps. TTYL Microsoft (noun).
