Hi. A user said she will bring a Macintosh Performa 6400/180 with 16MB RAM [1] to the installfest[2].
Will the sarge installer work with only 16 MB of RAM? I would like to know whether I can manage to install sarge there. I'm a little confused with this list of minimum recommended requirements [3]: Install Type RAM Hard Drive No desktop 24 megabytes 450 megabyte Because it says: Depending on your needs, you might manage with less than some of the recommended hardware listed in the table below. However, most users risk being frustrated if they ignore these suggestions. So my question is: If I don't run services (perhaps a liteweight web server): Could I manage to install Debian sarge in this mac with only 16 MB of RAM? I also wonder whether the user reported 16MB when the computer actually has 24MB [3]. Regards.
