Hello, as someone already told you I think that 64 mb are few for using FC1.

Haven't tried Fedora on a configuration like that, i tried only RH 9 on 
a PII 350 Mhz - 64 Mb machine and the poor pc looked at me with eyes 
full of pain. Fedora's quite fine and quite good to use for your purpose 
but i think that it's better to send them 1 pc with 128 Mb RAM than 2 pc 
with 64 Mb. How about the hard disks on the machines?

The next question they've already made is: do you boot from cd-rom or 
floppy disks?
