You certainly won't be able to do a standard installation; there is no where near enough RAM to run things like X and the standard install will take most of your HDD space so you will have nothing for swap space.
I doubt that RH7.1 will even try to start an install when it sees only 1Mb. I had an install on a Toshiba P120/16Mb/1.2Gb and it ran like a sick dog. Even with an upgrade to 48Mb and 6Gb it is still only just acceptable. It still takes about 4-5 minutes to go from power-up to auto-logged-in X. Basically I just use it for off-site diags, or in-house as an X terminal to my desktop where it is really only doing X things and nothing needing much grunt.
