- Ram usage increased to 160MB
Wow, for an installer? This is getting a little hefty here, considering X isn't even loaded.
Perhaps we should look into this before it becomes a problem.
Tobias, I'm not sure where you keep archboot (it was on a different server), but could we move it to gerolde in /srv/projects?
If you don't have access, you could move the repo to your home dir and let me know, I will move it to /srv
Thanks, Aaron

Am Montag, 24. September 2007 schrieb Aaron Griffin: the size will not increase dramatically, only new drivers will be added in next isos. Ram usage is calculated like this: kernelsize+initrdsize+decompressed initrdsize it can be tested with the mem= boot parameter. The binary part should be complete now. The initrd is not only a installer it's also a complete rescue system. Everything has up and downsides. In my opinion a system with less than 256mb ram is not really recommended and usable in 2007. greetings tpowa -- Tobias Powalowski Archlinux Developer & Package Maintainer (tpowa) http://www.archlinux.org tpowa@archlinux.org
