Yes.  The machine was and is well worked out so that with or without INET6 
back then it would not have made a significant difference memory usage 
wise. Somehow I doubt that removing INET6 from the kernel would make a 
significant difference in how the box made use of RAM especially different 
enough to stop the machine from rebooting.
