New install of 10.04 mini.iso, screen blanks while loading packages

with the amount of RAM available. The more RAM, the farther the progress

AFAIK it is not a duplicate:
- all comments until comment 19 (2008-06-30) are related to a fresh install
on a low memory system.
- but comments posted after 2008-07-16 (FactTech) are related to a Gutsy-Hardy
upgrade.

I've encountered a possibly related problem doing a distribution upgrade

Whether Debian has this problem is probably more to do with which

it'll probably work without any locale, and fallback to using builtin C
locale. hopefully for system work this doesn't matter, but software may
fail to do things right at some point, which should anyway be farther
away than booting and re-running locale-gen.

indeed it has worked.
worth to be noted is that tehere's another bottleneck: each time apt-get
kicks in there is a noticeable delay like this bug when building the
dependency tree.

i've tested a dirty solution for 64 MiB systems:
* select the command line install in english: F4 at the welcome screen
-- it has less chances to hang during install
* do the install until it hangs at 75% because of generating locales
* switch to 4th VT with Alt+F4 to check what it is doing
*
Maybe it is possible to do the hack before the step Installing the base
system reaches 75%:
* /usr/bin/localedef is part of packagebelocs-locales-bin
* this package is installed before the process reaches 40%
If you do the chmod when the step Installing the base system is between 40%
and 75%
Even if you choose language English for faster install, be sure to
select the appropriate keymap before install (press F3), so you can type
your login/password rightly.

Same issue here.
I do a dry-run in VirtualBox for a 64 MB install of Xubuntu 8.04.
I am discouraged to do the real install on my low memory machine.
There's 2 steps hanging:
* 75% Generating locales
-24 min for step localechooser: en_US.UTF-8
* 1% Configuring language-pack-en-base
-
Comfirmed.
75% Speichere Sprache... takes about two hours.

I'm very interested in the original poster's script to install a low

onto an old ThinkPad that has just 96MB of RAM. There are many other
people trying to fit Ubuntu into low-RAM environments, and since Ubuntu

Preseeding the language question shouldn't make a difference. Could you
attach /var/log/partman from the installer? The problem is likely that
there's no swap.

This is the list of processes. After that I killed localedef, it was launched
again with en_UK and again with en_US. After that the installation continued
quite a bit until setting up language-pack-en.
By the way, i partitioned using guided partitioning but there's no swap in
/etc/fstab yet.
