Yeah, but other than that? ;)

Not entirely good news, of course.

I don't have any machines with scsi adapters here to play with, but
I would have expected 24M to be enough to load the scsi module, no?
The current installer would allow you to install on that machine with 
mem=24M as well, wouldn't it?

I was thinking the target audience for this installer would be running on 
all IDE hardware. Of course, that assumption could be way off base.

Thoughts anyone?
