Bug#123167: boot-floppies: contradictory info about min. RAM requirements
Package: boot-floppies
Version: 3.0.17
Severity: minor
Hi,
in the help available in syslinux before booting the kernel (with keys
F1..F10), RAM requirements are:
- 12MB with swap
- 14MB without swap
After the disk partions step, if the user chooses to install without
swap, the warning message says 8MB are needed.
