1.5 Supported Configurations Do we really need to keep the memory requirement at 512M for a purely text based install? It would seem to me that we could get by comfortably with a lot less than what we require for a gui install. 5.3 Scenario Three Could you be more specific about what hardware driver incompatibilities would cause the liveCD to fail to boot but still allow an installation from the same media using a text installer? That doesn't sound right to me. If the liveCD can't boot, how can you run a text installer from it? I suspect what you meant was that the liveCD boots, but the Desktop GUI fails to start thus rendering the GUI installer useless (modulo ssh x-forwarding tricks). I can see the text installer being an useful fallback in that case. Otherwise, looks great. Cheers, -- Glenn
