Well, since 32-bit system does not use much more than 2,8-3,2 GB of RAM, I do not see point to put 4 GB in there. I would not be surprised finding out that it is to do with the installer's wish to change the kernel - if it sees that current one will not handle that much of RAM or something like that... > I'd rather have > too much than not enough memory.

Yes, on my machines with SSDs one of the steps I am doing basically what is suggested in "install to compactflash" wiki page - move /tmp to RAM by creating a RAM-drive or something like that. -- Viesturs If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
