Severity: normal

Chapter 3.4 of the Installation Guide for Stretch is out of date with 
regard to RAM requirements.  Through trial and error, I determined the 
following:

Install Type	| RAM (minimum) | RAM (recommended) | Hard Drive
No desktop	| 256 megabytes | 1 gigabyte        | 2 gigabytes
With desktop	| 768 megabytes | 1 gigabyte        | 10 gigabytes

Noone commented on this, so I assume we have a consense here, to leave everything
as is.
So closing this bug.
