Agreed. Which makes the _entire_ issue about "technology," not
necessarily "Fedora" and "too high of memory requirements."
But Anaconda (Python/Newt) is no longer the only way you can install
Fedora.

Does Anaconda not offer the same, exact 3-tier selection?

There were some serious issues with how /lib v. /lib64 worked with RPM.

FC3 seems to be the first, good release for x86-64.
