We are trying to see if solaris works on the classmate PC. See below the configuration: http://www.classmatepc.com/classmatepc-system-hardware.html 256M amd64 system may be a hard requirement, but 256M x86 system is realistic IMO. > > 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. > hmm..., I didn't realize the footprint of zfs-based system is bigger than ufs-based. If it's not really doable, please ignore my requirement.
