It looks like you may have found the answer to that experimental already - if debconf cannot find any more memory, Xorg is going to be a nightmare. > > What device is this? balloon3? > > This is a digi embedded module called ccw9p, with a netsilicon ns9215 > SoC (arm9 core) > > Not powerful enough to keep with emdebian $ du -h /var/lib/dpkg/info/x11-common.* 4.0K /var/lib/dpkg/info/x11-common.conffiles 36K /var/lib/dpkg/info/x11-common.config 4.0K /var/lib/dpkg/info/x11-common.list 4.0K /var/lib/dpkg/info/x11-common.md5sums 36K /var/lib/dpkg/info/x11-common.postinst 36K /var/lib/dpkg/info/x11-common.postrm 36K /var/lib/dpkg/info/x11-common.preinst 4.0K /var/lib/dpkg/info/x11-common.prerm 176K /var/lib/dpkg/info/x11-common.templates That's a lot of shell scripting. My advice would be to install cdebconf (from Crush if necessary) and then setup debconf to use it via the environment variables, also setting debconf to noninteractive in the process: echo "Setting cdebconf environment" export DEBCONF_USE_CDEBCONF=true DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive DEBCONF_NONINTERACTIVE_SEEN=true export DEBIAN_FRONTEND DEBCONF_NONINTERACTIVE_SEEN # bug: See #451130 chroot $path/ /usr/lib/cdebconf/debconf-loadtemplate /usr/share/debconf/demo /usr/share/debconf/demo.templates See if that reduces the memory requirements. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
