> Is there a change (decrease) of RAM capacity required to run the anaconda? A few months ago I installed successfully from DVD using 383MB of RAM. The supposed requirement then was 768MB (twice as much.) I suppressed anaconda's check for minimum RAM by appending " nomemcheck" to the kernel boot command line. The machine CPU was 700MHz, and the install took over an hour instead of the 20 minutes or so that it takes on a box with 3GHz and 4GB. When I installed using low RAM, then the "new UI" was not in place, and a full-blown SELinux configuration was not running during the entire install. I believe that "new UI" should be OK, but SELinux with a complete Fedora rule set uses much RAM. Also, SELinux is loaded (and retained!) *twice*: once before the pivot, and once after the pivot. Previously the rule set "before the pivot" was small, but now the full set of rules is used in both places. The syslog (/tmp/syslog during install; default /var/log/messages after a boot) tells how much time is taken. See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=853818 , "netinst.iso loads SELinux policy twice, very slowly both times" SELinux with full Fedora rules uses so much RAM that probably " selinux=0" should be used when booting to run anaconda with low RAM. You can try all this on a machine with more RAM by appending " mem=383m selinux=0 nomemcheck" to the kernel boot command line. The "mem=383m" and "selinux=0" are interpreted by the kernel; the "nomemcheck" is handled by anaconda. -- _______________________________________________ Anaconda-devel-list mailing list Anaconda-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/anaconda-devel-list
