The Ubuntu documentation says that the official CD requires 256MB, but some people have had trouble with less than 320MB and our live installer CD. If you're on a lower-memory machine, then you may want to get the official "server" installer CD (text-mode, not live installation) and add the desktop (e.g., ubuntu-desktop, xubuntu-desktop, or kubuntu-desktop) and emc2 packages after preliminary installation. According to Ubuntu, the "server" CD requires 64 megabytes RAM, but I doubt the desktops work well (or maybe at all) with that little RAM. There's also an "alternate desktop CD" (text-mode install but you get ubuntu-desktop after the first reboot) but I don't see how much RAM that requires. Download official Ubuntu CDs (make sure you select "Ubuntu 6.06 LTS" to run emc2): http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download Release notes including RAM requirements for official Ubuntu 6.06: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/606#head-e15a51f7ff4cac464dfd54cbed7506ef13814de3 Jeff ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
