I like this idea.

An alternative would be for the -s option to have units, and have some=20
form of unit that represents percent of ram. '%' is problematic as scripts=
=20
will parse it, but if we could add a "50%" or "40%" or whatever % default=
=20
for sysinst, that would aleviate the default install concern.

Take care,
