Uh, I realize that ram is cheap, but 64MB for the installer to run
decently???? That's as bad as W2K and the lovely new MSI.
Just my .02

THe installer really needs 64megs or higher to run
farily speedy... if you have less then that, the speed
will go down dramatically. (this has to do with the
amount of data the installer has to compute
to do dependency clean installs)
