Public bug reported: Binary package hint: ubiquity
Ubuntu supports 256MB machines, but Ubiquity only supports machines with 384MB of ram or more. Fixing this is as simple as adding modprobe lzo_compress modprobe lzo_decompress insmod tlsf.ko insmod ccache.ko ccache_size_kbytes=128000 swapon /dev/ccache to the LiveCD init scripts. (assuming tlsf.ko and ccache.ko are in the current directory) The source can be downloaded from http://ccache.googlecode.com/files/ccache-0.1.tar.bz2http://code.google.com/p/ccache/ This is a form of feature freeze exception request. 0 lines of code are added. ccache.ko and tlsf.ko require 902 lines of new C code. See: http://ccache.googlecode.com/files/ccache-0.1.tar.bz2 I have tested the LiveCD and Ubiquity on a VM with 192MB of ram. Without ccache.ko it is unusable, with ccache.ko it gives good performance even in resource hungry applications like Firefox.
