--- Begin Message ---Package: debian-installer-manual severity: wishlist Hi, the following memory requirements for powerpc should be documented in the manual, because booting with too little memory results in strange effects / error messages, which especially people new to powerpc will not understand, and therefor think the installer is broken for there machine. d-i: recommended is 48mb, might work with less, but on newworld it sureley doesnt boot with 32mb. (tested with daily cd from 2006-12-04). 64mb is still low-mem. d-i: recommended is 128mb. works with 96mb, but partioning is buggy then. (it crashes and comes back, so it's usable, but really not recommended. With 96mb the main partition would "reliably" have no mount point set, with 160 mb this is no problem.) If you point me to the proper file, I'm happy to submit a patch for this bug. regards, HolgerpgpvDFtHNjJVN.pgp
