Yeah, but if you're running under VM, your virtual machine can be quite small. 32M is perfectly reasonable for a machine that is going to, say, be a router for a virtual network. Your physical box is going to be a great deal larger, but your virtual machine doesn't have to be. > All that lowmem does is use debconf to ask a question.

Can the order of "is it lowmem? am I on s390-console?" be switched, then? That'd probably fix it. Another alternative would be to fix the lowmem threshold at 32M for S390 and simply say, "you must install in at least a 32M virtual machine; you can shrink it after install if you want."
