OK, so that would have been more than 128M (actually from reading the source, that would have been 128M for i386 also - see email to tech-install@ re making set_swap() MI) > I just tried i386 from the same build date and unfortunately there is no > pkgin for it yet so I didn't prove what you said. > > I can test another version if that would be helpful. If you had some space time it would be great if you could take a poke at sysinst and add the return value checks missing in the run_program calls that use pkgin. Otherwise I can see if I have time sometime soon...
