Package: boot-floppies
Version: N/A; reported 2002-06-03
Severity: normal

On my target system with 12mb of physical RAM, the boot floppies set
complains that I only have 9mb, and should have 12mb to run woody.

Incidentally, 9mb is what 'free' reports.  Since this, IIRC, does not
include kernel memory, it is obviously not going to show a completely
accurate number.

Perhaps change the "requirement" to 8-9mb so that when free reports 9mb, it
will meet the requirement, or perhaps find an alternate method to determine
the amount of physical RAM in the machine.

I'm closing all bug reports filed on the boot-floppies since this
codebase has reached its end of life. boot-floppies is only in Debian
oldstable now (and temporarily in unstable because of bug #224469).

The new installer for sarge and beyond is of course, the
debian-installer. It solves a great many issues present in the
boot-floppies.

If you believe that your boot-floppies bug is still present in
debian-installer somehow, then please reopen the bug report and reassign
it there, or perhaps better, file a new bug report.
