Memory and Disk Space Requirements
You must have at least &minimum-memory; of memory and &minimum-fs-size;
of hard disk space to perform a normal installation. Note that these are
fairly minimal numbers. For more realistic figures, see
.
The installer normally automatically enables memory-saving tricks to be able to
run on such low-memory system, but on architectures that are less tested
it may miss doing so. It can however be enabled manually by appending the
lowmem=1 or even lowmem=2 boot
parameter (see also and
).
On &architecture; the lowmem levels have not been tested, so automatic detection
is probably outdated and you thus probably need to pass the
boot parameter if your system has little memory.
Installation on systems with less memory
Installation images that support the graphical installer require more
memory than images that support only the text-based installer and should
not be used on systems with less than &minimum-memory; of memory. If
there is a choice between booting the text-based and the graphical installer,
the former should be selected on such systems.
or disk space available may be possible but is only advised for
experienced users.
