The actual hard coded limits are 19M for text and ~32M for RAM. At 32M, I haven't actually tested to see if the installer will force text mode. Not that it matters, at 32M you would do well to force text mode yourself. You're correct on the extra 300M of rpms being the cause of failure in the first attempt. You can easily add additional packages after installation. We've tried to keep the base package list small enough that the installer doesn't run out of memory. The RULE 'miniconda' installer should be able to do a base install in 12M of RAM. The 'slinky' installer is no where near as user friendly, but will install in 8M of RAM without too much difficulty - via cdrom, ftp, http, an iso image on disk, or (later today) via an NFS mounted filesystem. > 2/3 of my working Linux machines have 16 MB RAM.

I'm glad to hear that you found the RULE installer helpful. - -- - -Michael pgp key: http://www.tuxfan.homeip.net:8080/gpgkey.txt Red Hat Linux 7.2 in 8M of RAM: http://www.rule-project.org/ - -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iEYEARECAAYFAjzVlx0ACgkQn/07WoAb/Ss1JQCgp0Qk2ir1YM7GRX0I85Yc65Mq PdwAoLALLCfAHFF30J5vEfzkJyXNehqf =bLZ/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
