Hmm, this really is going to be a problem for low memory machines. I regularly install Fedora Workstation on 2G (not an issue atm) and 1G (requires some trickery) RAM systems. I know this is not a lot of RAM but generally speaking these systems work fine for non demanding work after the install. I'm pretty sure that not only the 1G but also the 2G RAM installs, which currently barely fit in RAM will become a problem with the new web installers. I was actually hoping the web-installer would help here since one can then just setup networking in the live environment and then have the browser showing the UI run somewhere else, hopefully reducing memory consumption compared to the gtk installer. Is there any chance this (remote installs) can at least be enabled with a commandline option for advanced users? I realize that making something for remote installs which works well for average users (and is also somehow using an authenticated connection) is quite a bit of work. But in the interim a cmdline option to start listening on other interfaces then the loopback device (and to not start the local browser) would be nice to have for power users. Note related to this ATM: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora/latest/release-notes/welcome/Hardware_Overview/ "Minimum System Configuration" Says 2G is the supported minimum. It would be good to see if that can actually be made to / kept working. Has anyone already tested the new installer on a system with its RAM limited to 2G ? As said I have some tricks to help with this which currently allow me to go down to 1G. We should probably look into making some of those the default on the livecd. E.g. changing a few things to not run evolution-data-services on the livecd (no calendering will be configured anyways) is an easy win of at least 50 MB of RAM.
