I have looked into the d-i manual according the memory requirements.
The info there is a bit inconsistent:
-----------%<------------------------------------------------
<title>Memory and Disk Space Requirements</title>
<para>
You must have at least &minimum-memory; of memory
---------->%-------------------------------------------------
which expands to 80MB ATM.
But Chapter 3.4 contains:
-----------%<------------------------------------------------
<title>Recommended Minimum System Requirements</title>
<tgroup cols="4">
<thead>
<row>
<entry>Install Type</entry>
<entry>RAM (minimal)</entry>
<entry>RAM (recommended)</entry>
<entry>Hard Drive</entry>
</row>
</thead>
<tbody>
<row>
<entry>No desktop</entry>
<entry>64 megabytes</entry>
<entry>256 megabytes</entry>
<entry>1 gigabyte</entry>
</row><row arch="not-s390">
<entry>With Desktop</entry>
<entry>128 megabytes</entry>
<entry>512 megabytes</entry>
<entry>5 gigabytes</entry>
---------->%-------------------------------------------------
So a minimum of 64MB for console-only installs.
But that is not enough for a successful installation, as Ferenc wrote.
OK for me to change the 64MB into 80MB as well ?
