You install it with 5 megs of RAM... which incidently also means you
install it with 4 megs.  8-).

You can borrow the RAM -- it's not necessary to run, only to install;
it runs fine in 4M.

Alternately, there is a -stable (or -current; I forget) snapshot
that will install in 4M.  You will have to FTP it from the FTP
site.
