Certainly ZFS does have higher memory requirements than other file systems but 1GB cannot be a minimum since we do support 512MB installations today. > So it is not just the simple task of whether you can install the system in a > certain amount of memory , even if you can install it, but it is not usable > afterwards, it is not going to help. Right. It really depends on the profile of packages that are installed on to the image. If the text install works off the same "babel_install" profile that the current Slim Install copies, then that means a fairly large (> 600 packages) footprint including components like GNOME that aren't memory friendly.
