I believe you have to have 20 meg to install 7.2. I just did an install on a 486-66 with 16 meg RAM using the rule installer. The first time I tried to install, anaconda died about half way through. I'd added in about 300 MB extra stuff I wanted. The second time I tried it with just the minimal network install and it worked. 2/3 of my working Linux machines have 16 MB RAM. If it wasn't for the Rule Project I'd have to run a different operating system since Red Hat wont install on them as distributed.
