Hello all,
Reading Marc's message I took out 128 MB from my SPARC 5, with which I have
been struggling to install Debian Linux from CDROM.
The installation went well - it was the 12th attempt -, although I was not able
to use consistently the CDROM during the whole process, only the first part
until DHCP to the FTP server ... dbootstrap generates error messages about
corrupt files while attempting to download from the CDROM all the time,
sometimes even from some Debian FTP mirrors ... can Debian Linux handle at all
more than 128 of RAM?
I run a Sparc Station 5 85MHz/256MB RAM as web-server with Debian Woody,
and everything works well.
As i don't have a CDROM on it, i netbooted the installation program
without a problem, but i don't remember if there were 256MB or only 64MB
when i installed it...
