:-o Really? Wow. I have ones that run off a floppy in 4MB of RAM somewhere, but they're extremely old. I think I've seen graphical ones in 128MB.
*Quick check*
TinyCore is current and will run in 128MB.
Strange that the basic installation, that is, the copying from source media to harddisk, needs much RAM at all. Just copy the source media itself (or one segment of it) to disk in a streamed operation. .. wait, that's just what KIWI images do - and then, the on-disk system could boot - and continue installation if so desired. I should not need to complain about yast2's higher-than-KIWI requirements :-p -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
