We have used it okay with 32MB, but it was not happy with 24MB.  Our 
laptop computers have 16MB and 24MB.  Please remind me how to go to CLI 
instead of X when you boot, other than telling it to use VESAFB when you 
don't have that.  That should save some RAM.  What does DSL do with all 
that RAM?
