Indiana should install and run the system with the configuration as follows: 1) 256M memory + GUI + X86 + Live CD-based + CD + suitable performance 2) 256M memory + GUI + AMD64 + Live CD-based + CD + suitable performance Justification: That's what we need for a distribution to be doable for our project.
