Just looked at their site:


    What are the minimum system requirements?

    * Intel-compatible CPU (i486 or later),
    * 16 MB of RAM for text mode, at least 96 MB for graphics mode with
      KDE (at least 128 MB of RAM is recommended to use the various
      office products),
    * bootable CD-ROM drive, or a boot floppy and standard CD-ROM
      (IDE/ATAPI or SCSI),
    * standard SVGA-compatible graphics card,
    * serial or PS/2 standard mouse or IMPS/2-compatible USB-mouse.

so 16M RAM is ok for test mode, which is quite sufficient for fixit work.

The site also shows:
