You have 2 options
1) temporarilly install another 32 mb ram (borrow it from another laptop?)
so that the installation will
finish, then remove the extra ram. Xp will work with only 32 mb ram.
2) take the hard disk out, install on another similar laptop with more ram,
replace hard disk and then do a repair installation (this *may* work.. not
sure that the repair will let you do the repair with less ram, although I
think it will).
3) use some sort of ghost software to create an image of xp on the disk
without installing.
Now I just gave you some ways to do it, but the laptop will be too slow with
XP (unless you make a lite version of xp.. look farther down).
I would advise you to upgrade the memory anyway.. ram never does any harm.
For those who question my motives... I have succesfully installed XP on a
pentium 90 Mhz with 64 mb ram just to see if it can be done, and I am sure I
could make xp run (load not run, perhaps crawl) on a good 486.
Theoretically a 386 can do it too since it is 32 bit....
Of course there are ways to make lite versions of xp...
Before install---see this: http://nuhi.msfn.org/nlite.html
