Package: boot-floppy
Version: 20040715 Sarge weekly snapshot
I am trying to install Sarge on a Pentium 90 with only 32M of memory.
After the root fs is loaded from the floppy and mounted, I get a
message saying that installation is going into low memory mode. When I
press <<continue>>, the same message screen comes back, and on and on
it goes.
That message says get some swap space asap. So I created swap space on
the hard disk, but there were no device files there to use as
arguments for swapon. Didn't try making one with mknod.
The program that shows this message is debconf_lowmem, and I think it
is launched by debian_installer.
I tried removing S10lowmem and S31lowmem from
/lib/debian-installer.d/, then killed the debian_installer and
debconf_lowmwm processes, and then installation proceeded (until I hit
a problem with my media)
I'd be happy to help with more information or trying proposed fixes.
Cheers,
Greg O'Keefe

Please try newer images before filing bug reports. This bug is fixed in
any current image. Maybe you got the 20040715 build from a debian
mirror; use http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/ to find the
