Lassard e mur, sobre a instalação em 32MB de RAM, li isso nos anúncios do Fórum Gringo sobre o Dapper Flight CD4. Não diz o que fizeram, mas eu lembro de tentar instalar o Breezy num K6-II da minha irmã com um tanto de memória como esses 32MB e ele aparece modo "Ultra-low memory". Mas não passa disso, fica acessando o HD uma vida toda e não instala.
Significant changes affecting the installer and live CD include:
* A preliminary version of the long-awaited live CD installer
("Espresso", formerly known as "Ubuntu Express", based on though
substantially changed from work done by Guadalinex), is now
available: there's an "Install System Permanently" icon on the live
CD's desktop.
I should stress that this is an early release, and omissions or user
interface issues here don't necessarily reflect what you'll see in
the final product. However, we feel it's important to get this out
now in order to encourage as much testing as possible.
* The powerpc live CD is much more stable now.
* The network configurator no longer creates /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf
with syntax errors (#27141). If you're seeing errors from
ifup/ifdown, just delete the line containing "NetcfgDHClient" from
that file.
* Progress bars for DHCP and wireless access point search now have a
cancel button.
* Installation on systems with 32MB of memory should now be possible.* The live CD now configures networking properly again, and sets up a
keymap based on that selected in the graphical boot loader.
* The installer's rescue mode now has a simple way to reinstall GRUB
without having to use the shell.
* Fixed time zone configuration crash for a number of language/country
combinations (#28722).
* The installer no longer asks for a proxy or whether to download
language support if networking is disabled.
* Support for installing with / on a removable device has been
improved.
* The graphical boot loader now has help text, which is localisable.
Translations welcome!
* We no longer copy remaining packages from the CD to the hard disk,
since with the new single-stage installer its usefulness is
outweighed by the extra installation time and use of disk space.
* Custom install CDs made without the restricted component should now
work more smoothly.
* Monitor resolution is now detected automatically on amd64 systems.
* Fixed installations on machines with badly-skewed system clocks
(again).
Known bugs in the new live CD installer:
* It's available only for Ubuntu and Edubuntu at present. A Kubuntu
version is under development.
* It probably won't install a working system on powerpc, as the
appropriate boot loader magic isn't there yet.
* As yet, there is no language, location, or keymap configuration
support. Obviously these are high on the list of things to sort out.
* It doesn't deal with installing language packs.
* It wrongly installs the ubuntu-live metapackage, so the live CD
installer itself will end up installed on the target system
(although you probably won't notice it, since it's hidden from the
menus).
* The advanced partitioner is excessively painful to use at present,
particularly the mountpoint selector, and it can sometimes take a
few attempts to persuade it to accept a valid partition layout.
