Word of warning Bill, the new installer seems to require a good deal more
memory than the older versions (pre 6.1). I think 16 MB is the cutoff
point though, so you should be fine.
I worked around this on an 8 MB machine by installing with the drive in a
different machine and moving it once I was done. That was 6.1 and an early
release of 6.2, the latest images may be better.
Good Luck!
