I would think (and certainly hope) than 1G is enough. Try running the liveCD; open a terminal and type free -m. Do you use more than 300M (not counting cache nor buffers)? There's your answer, more or less.

Try (if possible) running the liveCD with maxmem=300M (or whatever the parameter is called, the one that limits how much memory the kernel allows itself to "see"). See if it runs acceptably.

I'm not voting down cuz you suggested it as an option :) very clever ]]> Thu, 21 Aug 2008 15:26:38 +0000 and it is quite good! very very very fast system and an ejectable live cd]]> Thu, 21 Aug 2008 15:37:26 +0000
definately i would rather wait 2 minutes

another plus for this is no noise from drive :)]]> Thu, 21 Aug 2008 15:53:31 +0000 Thu, 21 Aug 2008 18:58:06 +0000
+1]]> Thu, 21 Aug 2008 21:16:07 +0000 Thu, 21 Aug 2008 22:23:52 +0000 So, thumbs up! ;)]]> Thu, 21 Aug 2008 22:34:06 +0000 1) system will be running faster
2) we can possibility to burn blank DVD (for example in rescue purpouse)]]> Sun, 24 Aug 2008 12:30:14 +0000 I'm tryng to be clear but my poor English does not permit me more than this.

which is better, caching all the programs or caching only what you will use? the answer: only what you will use. but how to know in advanced what you will use, you can guess but not give the exact answer. so a more efficient way to cache than just cache all is cache on demand and it's what is already done.]]> Sun, 24 Aug 2008 17:02:57 +0000 Wed, 27 Aug 2008 17:49:53 +0000 Thu, 28 Aug 2008 06:17:45 +0000
Maybe Ubuntu could do it that way too. Logically, it shouldn't slow down LiveCD boot (at least not by much) I think. Booting the LiveCD it and of itself already loads files onto memory. AUSTRUMI loads the same whether there's enough RAM to store the entire CD or not. Of course, it's only 50MB compared to 700MB for Ubuntu, so I could be assuming too much.]]> Fri, 29 Aug 2008 13:23:38 +0000 Sat, 30 Aug 2008 14:54:53 +0000
Fedora's liveCD claims 1GB of RAM is needed for this feature, but it then complains (or at least, that one time I tried, and it was an older release) that it cannot install because it wasn't a proper live environment. Provided this can/has been dealt with, I am all for such an option.]]> Sun, 31 Aug 2008 11:39:16 +0000 Mon, 01 Sep 2008 14:25:22 +0000
