d-i runs out of RAM on 32 MB machine with 1 GB hard drive
I received several reports that installing Debian on a NSLU2 (32 MB
RAM) with a 1 GB USB hard drive leads to failures because the system
runs out of memory and kills ssh. Now I received some more
information on this problem:
* Emanuele Rocca <ema@debian.org> [2006-11-20 17:25]:

This problem can presumbly be fixed by raising the minimum of swap
created from 64 to 128. Since this issue probably affects all
systems, I suggest to do this for all recipes, as in the patch below.
