Having received and e-mail on both the docs and server lists about serverguide minimum memory requirements changes, I found this bug report.
I have a 200 Mhz computer with only 128 Mbytes of memory. The computer was used throughout the 12.04 release cycle as a minimum requirements test case. Until today I have not been involved with any 12.10 testing. Todays 12.10 i386 ISO was downloaded and put to CD-ROM. Installation went fine, except the install-grub stage was incredibly slow. Now the server is running fine. The only time this computer has run out of memory is with 11.10 when I tried to compile the kernel. It took 33 hours 4 minutes and 57.6 seconds before it gave up with an out of memory error. Myself, I don't think the minimum memory requirements needed to be increased, at least for real hardware. I don't really care if they are, I'm just saying is all. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1050595 Title: Ubuntu Server installation with 128M ram hangs To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lowmem/+bug/1050595/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
