   * Fedora Core [[GetVal(DocsDict,BeatsVer)]] supports graphical FTP and HTTP installations. However, the installer image must either fit in RAM or appear on local storage such as Installation Disc 1.  Therefore, only systems with more than 192MiB of RAM, or which boot from Installation Disc 1, can use the graphical installer. Systems with 192MiB RAM or less will fall back to using the text-based installer automatically. If you prefer to use the text-based installer, type {{{linux text}}} at the `boot:` prompt.
