Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: base-installer
I tried installing a German cmdline system in VMWare using
hardy-alternate-i386.iso Alpha 6.
All went well until "generating locales" ("Speichere Sprachen..." in German on
screen), there was constant hard disk activity but the progress bar went no
further than 75%.
I tried numerous times.
Then I tried with 128mb ram and it worked flawlessly.
Has this to do with restructuring the language chooser? In Gutsy you had
to choose language during install and it switched to "Low Memory Mode"
when installing on 64mb ram. In Hardy you choose your language on the CD
boot prompt and there's no more "Low Memory Mode".
I will try to add a syslog to this bug report later.
(I'm currently creating a low memory install script based on IceWM so I'd be
quite dissappointed if Hardy drops 64mb support.)
