Possible, it's really going to depend on the ram footprint minimyth 
takes when running its root file system in ram. There's only 256MB of 
ram and the binary nvidia driver is grabbing almost half.

The mythfrontend from recent svn can be a pig keeping all those 
setup/config views in memory. For example, right now at 846+ mins of 
cpu time doing constant 1080i xvmc decode, it's taking 289m virtual 
and 120m resident with 62m shared. 4756k free. About 2/3rds of that 
resident is non-visable screens buffered for quick access I guess.


I'm download a ram install to play with later.
