Well, it spooked me to think I wouldn't be able to install 9.2.  I did get 
pointed to the correct link (I had missed it initially) on the 9.2 
pre-release page, that gave 128MB as the minimum.  After seeing the post 
about less than 256 MB, I was a bit nervous - the HP Vectras only have 192 MB 
at most.  I didn't realize that the post could have been referring 
specifically to the live eval CD.
