Hi,
Apparently, the off-topic issue on the mailing list is a habit so this
is a new thread :D
I totally respect your disagreement. I totally understand some users
are having problems. It is not about challenging my nor my so many
tests, it is about one simple thing:
I have failed to produce that issue no matter how many times I have tired.
I even tried below 256MB of RAM but that did not crash the
installation at all. YES, the installation process was SO SLOW but
never crashed, in all my tests.
So, I'm not defeating the idea as a whole, I'm stating what I've found
and what my so many tests for 2 years had shown and proved to my, at
least.
It is not that I don't believe you, but I can't disagree with my eyes too.
On the other hand, I do not think this is why we can't get more users.
As long as there are workarounds this, I think it is not yet a huge issue.
Anyway, it appears that this issue happens with some hardware and
never happen on some other hardware. That is the ONLY
logical explanation for why I failed to produce it so far.
Thanks!
P.S.
Do I really have to dig for my old emails and post some screenshots? :P

I honestly think zram could help during the one-time
graphical installation of Lubuntu on 512MB pcs. In fact,
edubuntu included zram in that distribution for that exact
reason. We could eliminate crashing and the need to delete
the slideshow to install.
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?

Intermittent issues do exist for technical reasons. I imagine it's
something out of our lowly control. :)
I'm not especially convinced either way on the topic, I just thought it
was probably worth discussing. And we will probably gain a few more
users as we will (hypothetically?) be able to reduce the amount of RAM
we post as a requirement on the documentation pages.
