Actually, I think it would be possible to lower this requirement to as little as 64 to 128mb for the text installer if we actually produced a miniroot specifically designed for "headless systems". Mind you I don't think a system with less than 512mb is going to be terribly usable (at least w/ a graphical desktop of any sort). -- Shawn Walker, Software and Systems Analyst http://binarycrusader.blogspot.com/ "We don't have enough parallel universes to allow all uses of all junction types--in the absence of quantum computing the combinatorics are not in our favor..." --Larry Wall _______________________________________________ indiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/indiana-discuss
