The g-i has a separate check for available memory and should fall back automatically to the NEWT frontend if the system has insufficient memory to run it. So it does not need a separate warning in the help screens. > And in #401889 is mentioned, that on powerpc the installer > needs more ram at all. That is a different matter, butAFAICT the powerpc boot does not have anything like the F2 help keys. however, as a 32MB limit seems needed for x86 as well (according to most recent release tests), I have changed the message to mention that.
