Hello all,
Reading Marc's message I took out 128 MB from my SPARC 5, with which I have been struggling to install Debian Linux from CDROM.
The installation went well - it was the 12th attempt -, although I was not able to use consistently the CDROM during the whole process, only the first part until DHCP to the FTP server ... dbootstrap generates error messages about corrupt files while attempting to download from the CDROM all the time, sometimes even from some Debian FTP mirrors ... can Debian Linux handle at all more than 128 of RAM?
