17M is a strange number.  16M is a common older value for memory
and one would think they would have hard coded it to 15.5 or so, not
just over 16M.  I wonder if RH encountered some issues with 16M
installs and changed this to 17M to prevent them from occuring,
making the real effective minimum something like 20M or 24M?
