Thanks Nio!!
I have gotten 80MB Ram in some of my testing.  I find 80-100 is the 
normal operating range.  I have also killed network-manager pcmanfm and 
a few others and gotten down to 50ish.  So even in extreme cases (less 
than 128) it may even work.  It works well on my iBook which has 128 MB, 
though I cannot install it from CD, I had to build it manually there.

To me, at this point most of the issues are minor unless anyone 
discovers a major one, I think this can be the release candidate and we 
can focus on the minor issues that are biggest (pcmanfm desktop window 
moves during install).
