Yeah, it's odd. I can only suggest 'RTFS', but the changes are so
huge... it can't be systemd, can it? It's not *that* large.

Pass. All I know about systemd is that its in F15 and seems to work
pretty well, though it might make controlling home-grown daemons somewhat
of a nightmare. I thought I saw that the F15 minimum is the same as its
been for ages (400 MB RAM and 600 MHz) but I may be imagining that.

I'll be annoyed if the 768MB turns out to be permanent, rather than a
gotcha that didn't get squashed in time for the F16 release because it
does rather put Fedora in the same bloatware camp as Windows.
