OK, just checked with the devs... the official word is that the installer does work with systems having less than 256M of RAM, however, much less than that and the desktop system won't work "reasonably." That maybe why they asked me to update the website... no use advertising that the alternate cd installer works with < 256M if the desktop won't work well on such a system. -- Matthew Nuzum newz2000 on freenode -- ubuntu-marketing mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-marketing
