I'm running a 233MHz Pentium MMX with 48MB RAM and a 33.6 modem. Will installation be grueling or 
just not work at all??? I couldn't find a way to install using a modem in the Install 
documentation.

thanks

Right now, the install process will probably need at least 64Mb of RAM, so I
think you'll be a bit stuck :(  This is something we'll address after the 1.0
release.
Until then, I'm marking this as a WONTFIX; nothing personal :)

Trying to clean out the docs-depricated so that I can close the catergory ...
