Hello, what about using the Text Mode for the install? [1] According to the release notes it only needs 256MB of RAM so I think it should be feasible, or? [2] Are there anything preventing the usage of the textmode? Best regards, Johannes [1] http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/15/htm

Anaconda memory requirements

2011-08-20 Thread Andre Robatino
Would it be possible to create a custom image that just does a minimal (possibly text-based) install? This might reduce memory requirements even more, and extra packages could be added later - the DVD could be used as a repo if bandwidth is an issue. -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedorapro

Anaconda memory requirements

Hi, We are working on a remix(considering a spin) of Fedora that could be used in schools[1], The problem is, most of these schools in India use donated computers and have very less memory (256 Mb - 512 Mb). According to this blog post https://anonbadger.wordpress.com/2011/02/25/need-more-memory/

Hi http://anonbadger.wordpress.com/2011/02/25/need-more-memory/ Why does Anaconda need more memory? Such changes really need to be coordinated and documented better. We need changes in several documentation including installation guide and release notes not to mention changes in the default RAM
