That needs further explanation. What "project" are you referring to? I should also note that almost every distribution I've found that has a native AMD64 environment consistently requires at least 384MiB of memory for a LiveCD. This is in part because of the code size being significantly larger for that architecture. As a result, I'm trying to figure out why and how you picked out 256MiB as a number. I should also note that every LiveCD environment I've encountered (GNOME-based ones anyway) consistently require between 256-384MiB of memory. Ubuntu, notably, requires 384MiB. Suitable performance is outside the scope of this particular discussion unless you are using it drive the memory requirements, in which case, 256MiB is probably erring too low; especially considering Indiana is zfs-based. -- 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
