If the user accepts those, he will likely end up with a system that will not install anyway. (Hmm. Maybe he will as we will have gotten rid of all translations...) An option would be to have a file with a list of udebs that should be selected by default and have anna read that. This list could easily be made architecture dependent. For i386 (and probably most other arches) I would put partman-ext3 and maybe some driver module udebs in such a list. > but we have to modify the following anna template for lowmem: > "To save memory, only components that are certainly needed for an > install are selected by default" The problem is that they are not "certainly needed". Those are selected already! What tbm is talking about are udebs that are only certainly needed on some (sub)architectures. Alternative idea: The main cause of memory overruns currently seems to be caused by memory used by translations. Could we easily introduce a new lowmem level that runs as normal, but only in English?
