is correct, Virtual PC will not run Fedora Core 4 in 512M you need 1G to 
run Fedora in VPC. I've tried everything on numerous machines and 1G is 
the minimum. Even M$ states that in their docs, well at least the one I 
have. VMWare player,Server, WorkStation will run, less than optimum 
speed, with Fedora Core 4 and 5 in 512M.

If you have every had Fedora as a virtual client run in VPC with 512M 
please tell me how you did it, but I believe it never happened and the 
error you are getting is on a first time run.
