Summary: Fedora 15 release notes - minimum memory requires need to be updated https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=701780 Summary: Fedora 15 release notes - minimum memory requires need to be updated Product: Fedora Documentation Version: devel Platform: Unspecified OS/Version: Unspecified Status: NEW Severity: unspecified Priority: unspecified Component: release-notes AssignedTo: relnotes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ReportedBy: jlaska@xxxxxxxxxx QAContact: kwade@xxxxxxxxxx CC: dlehman@xxxxxxxxxx, nb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, wb8rcr@xxxxxxxx, oglesbyzm@xxxxxxxxx Classification: Fedora Story Points: --- Description of problem: The minimum system memory requirements listed in the Fedora 15 release notes are far too low. After some testing, Dave Lehman (of the anaconda-devel@ fame), discovered that the limits need to be adjusted according to his patch against Fedora 15 anaconda (see https://www.redhat.com/archives/anaconda-devel-list/2011-May/msg00012.html). http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/15/html/Release_Notes/sect-Release_Notes-Welcome_to_Fedora_15.html#sect-Release_Notes-Hardware_Overview To summarize ... * the absolute minimum amount of memory needed for an installation on i386 or x86_64 is 640 MiB. * 1152 MiB is the minimum required to install *without* a swap partition Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): * Revision 14.98 Fri Apr 15 2011 Actual results: 1.3.1. Processor and memory requirements for x86 Architectures <snip> Recommended for text-mode: 200 MHz Pentium Pro or better Recommended for graphical: 400 MHz Pentium Pro or better Minimum RAM for text-mode: 256 MiB Minimum RAM for graphical: 384 MiB Recommended RAM for graphical: 512 MiB 1.3.2. Processor and memory requirements for x86_64 architectures Minimum RAM for text-mode: 256 MiB Minimum RAM for graphical: 384 MiB Recommended RAM for graphical: 512 MiB Expected results: 1.3.1. Processor and memory requirements for x86 Architectures <snip> Recommended for text-mode: 200 MHz Pentium Pro or better Recommended for graphical: 400 MHz Pentium Pro or better Minimum RAM for graphical: 640 MiB Recommended RAM for graphical: 1152 MiB 1.3.2. Processor and memory requirements for x86_64 architectures Minimum RAM for graphical: 640 MiB Recommended RAM for graphical: 1152 MiB Additional info: * cmdline installations may be able to proceed with less than 640Mib, but that isn't exhaustively tested and cmdline mode in not an interactive installation method. * 1152 MiB is the new recommended size since that is the minimum memory size where you are able to install *without* requiring a swap partition. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. -- relnotes-content mailing list relnotes-content@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/relnotes-content
