: You do this by interrupting the Helper CD boot by hitting the '''Esc''' key once the initial splash-screen appears. You should see a list of four boot options. At this point, hit the '''Tab''' key. The command line should appear. Add <code>selinix=0</code> to the end of the line and hit '''Enter''' (or Return). The boot should proceed from here as normal.

This Fedora page - http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/19/html/Release_Notes/sect-Release_Notes-Welcome_to_Fedora_.html#hardware_overview - mentions that 768 MB RAM is now regarded as a minimum amount of RAM for Fedora Spins.

If a Sugar LiveCD has failed to boot on low memory hardware, reboot the LiveCD and interrupt the boot process by hitting the tab key at the screen which invites you to "Hit '''Enter''' to Boot", "Hit '''Tab''' to Edit Command Line", or "wait 30 seconds for automatic boot"
 +
 +
The Boot Command Line should appear.

It is perfectly safe to use remove <code>rhgb quiet</code> (if it exists) from the command line, so that output is printed to the screen, this may provide a clue if the boot fails for a different reason.
 +
 +
Add
 +
<code>nomemcheck</code>
 +
to the command line
 +
 +
Then hit '''Enter''' (or Return). The boot should proceed from here as normal.
