When the Red Hat Linux/SPARC installation starts, normally a RAM disk is loaded
into memory. This RAM disk contains data and programs required to
perform the installation, and is approximately 4 MB in size. Since the
RAM disk takes memory away from the Red Hat Linux/SPARC installation program, your
SPARC system must have at least 12 MB of memory in order to sucessfully
use a RAM disk-based installation.

| | Red Hat Linux/SPARC may also be installed by booting from the Red Hat Linux/SPARC
CD-ROM. This method doesn't use a RAM disk, as the necessary files
are already present on the Red Hat Linux/SPARC CD-ROM. We will discuss booting
from CD-ROM in the section called Booting From CD-ROM.
