* Emanuele Rocca [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2006-11-23 00:37]:
 There's a known issue [0] installing over ssh on a 1GB hard drive in low
 mem. Without a big enough swap partition the ssh daemon goes out of
 memory creating the root fs, disconnecting the user.
 
 Moreover, trying to login again to resume the installation, partman hangs
 doing:
  cd /var/lib/partman/devices/=dev=mtdblock0
  open_dialog DUMP
 
 (from /lib/partman/init.d/35dump)

I've seen this too.

 BTW, besides from this issue, the installation was perfect, congrats for
 the really fine job.
 
 I've been able to complete the installation twice, the first time with a
 128M swap partition, and now even with a smaller one, as suggested by
 Otavio [1], just 96M.
 
 The partman-auto reciepe for put everything in one partition creates a
 swap area of around 80M, which are not enough; I'd suggest to raise the
 default size, maybe only if in low-mem.

I've commited a fix for this to SVN.
