Debian-installer-version: Jan 1st netinst iso, on a usb drive with a hand-built initrd. This initrd has on it the new busybox, which will be in tomorrow's images. Machine: "my" LC2000 Memory: 512 mb, artificially limited to 32 mb at kernel boot with mem=32M Root Device: ~30 gb ide, with 128 mb swap partition Base System Installation Checklist: Initial boot worked: [O] Configure network HW: [O] Config network: [O] Detect CD: [O] Load installer modules: [O] Detect hard drives: [O] Partition hard drives: [O] Create file systems: [O] Mount partitions: [O] Install base system: [O] Install boot loader: [O] Reboot: [O] [O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it Comments/Problems: The 32 mb memory installs verified to work with the new busybox. I did have to be careful to set up a swap partition; it would be better if the installer automatically set up a swap file if memory is low and there is no swap partition, and/or had sanity checks to avoid continuing without swap on lowmem systems. The lowest I saw memory before setting up swap was at 800 kb free. I kept the memory limited to 32 MB on reboot, and it came up fine and was able to run base-config and aptitude. Swap was mounted correctly. -- see shy jo
