Hi Phill, I'm testing installation from 'grub-n-iso-swap' for Pentium M and Celeron M, and then it is not possible (or I don't now how) to bypass the full desktop screen. So it is somewhat heavier, and I have issues with 256 MB RAM even when I use swap to disk ...
... I just passed a critical point, during the dialogue screens, now the screenshow has started ... I skipped updating via the internet and the 3rd party multimedia software, which seems to get the installer over the threshold.
