Bug#370398: debian-installer: support testing memory
Package: debian-installer
Version: 20060604
Severity: wishlist
One of the first things I do before installing a new debian system is run
memtest86+ on it for a while. I read somewhere that Ubuntu dapper's new
installer has some sort of memory tester (I guess they have isolinux/syslinux
launch memtest86+).
Has this been considered for d-i?
The memtest86+ option is one possibility, but it's i386 specific. Another
option might be providing a udeb of the "memtester" utility. I haven't used it
but it appears to be a Linux userspace app and not i386 specific. So that
might be a better fit for Debian.
Thanks,
