Sure it will work, but that's why I stated that more is needed for it to run
smoothly. It will be very slow with only 32Mb. When they say that a system
requires 24-32Mb RAM for the OS, it is referring to just what is needed if
you have only the OS installed, it doesn't take into account what other
programs are eventually going to be installed. That's why we have virtual
memory, which is much slower, and the more it has to be used the slower the
system performance will be.
