The box has 20M of RAM only. The HDD is the same 3.2G that I used successfully in Q800 and Q600AV.I'm pretty sure the problem is the RAM. We haven't really spent a bunch of time on lowmem installations yet, so I think the minimum is 24 or so. At least, I think someone got it installed in 24.
Yes, that was me, with a Quadra650. I could get it installed it I had partitioned and "mke2fs"ed the target-disk first. This is because the ramdisk back than (d-i beta2 or beta3) was 20 Mb and the partitioner wouldn't start in the memory that was left. Maybe with a 13 Mb ramdisk it'll work. I will try and take a day to test d-i RC1 again with the 13 Mb ramdisk. Yes, you read that correct: I need to take a day for that, it was that slow, but maybe that's gotten better and faster when the ramdisk only takes 13 Mb.
