For the last two years testing Lubuntu on old hardware (256MB-512MB of RAM), that maybe 1000 installations or more, I have never ever faced the so called slideshow crashing issue :)

Please, let's keep the topic as it is :)
Ali,

I'd like to respectfully disagree. Lubuntu in my experience uses a lot of RAM during installation, but nowhere near as much during normal use. If we could get that installation figure down, we can get a lot more users. If that means the installation is slower, so be it. I doubt many users are too bothered by another couple of minutes when installing.

Michael.

PS Please don't take this as a challenge to your authority, I'd just like to suggest this is perhaps an option worth discussing. Maybe as another email thread as you see fit?
