It was just pointed out to me that RHL 8.0, and 7.3 for that matter require
64MB of RAM to install (thanks Sinner!). <RTFM ID10T error> The machine I'm
trying to use has 40MB.

Anyway, as suggested by Andy, I installed RHL 8.0 on a newer machine and I
have the HDD in the laptop with 40MB. Before I trash the install, is there a
switch I can put on the kernel line that will allow it to pass this
requirement? This is JUST going to be a router firewall. Here's the install:

RHL 8.0 Minimal w/GRUB
P5-90MHz
40MB RAM
2GB HDD
No CDROM

If not, I'll just trash and backup the current 6.2 installation to the
second HDD and try upgrading the kernel and it's beloved dependancies to a
2.4.x series on the second HDD.

Any suggestions?
