I'm not concerned with performance. The F32 installs took time too. But it isn't as if I was in a hurry. These VM's are mostly only used to duplicate issues others are having on the users list. So, install time and user experience are irrelevant, to me. > Another test would be to use Custom partitioning to create disk-based > swap equal to the amount of memory.

I performed the above after assigning 1248mb and the install completed fine. My suggestion would be that if the install process could detect/know that it is below the limits needed it would notify the user and not proceed. That is, not just crash. > I'm curious how much swap it ends up using but it'll probably be more > than 800M in which case, it's just seriously under resourced. > > Still another test, you can keep increasing the zram device size up to > 2x memory, i.e. ' zram-fraction=2.0' That has its own consequences but > will still be way faster than disk based swap. Speed isn't the issue, for me. It is crashing v.s. not crashing -- The key to getting good answers is to ask good questions. _______________________________________________ test mailing list -- test@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to test-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/test@lists.fedoraproject.org
