Idea #12401: auto detect if system can handle liveCD installer

Written by trylik the 21 Aug 08 at 08:16. Category: Installation. Related project: Nothing/Others. Status: New
Rationale
yesterday i installed kubuntu on my uncles computer - it was an old machine

it was really painfull to go through liveCD installer,

there is an information on box, that 256MB of ram is required

wouldnt it be good, if installer at the very beginning, choose, or suggest you if you have an older machine - to use alternate install?

Isn't it kinda late at that point? The info is on the web page already.

@glotz - can you provide a link?

It should say 384MB. at 256MB an installed system will run fine but a Live CD is horrible.

Looks like I cannot find it on Ubuntu.com... Perhaps they changed it or perhaps it never was there. I think somebody oughta file a bug about this. I think the site needs a lot of help otherwise too...
