When installing lxde fedora 16, it requires 768mb of ram. Since lxde is supposed to be a lightweight, less resource hungry desktop, perhaps it makes sense to reduce the memory requirement during installation. Thanks, jeff |

This is a bug report to the Fedora team and nothing the upstream project can do that much about. I know some Fedora people are reading this list but the best thing for your part would be to add a bug report at the fedora bug tracker. Probably against some installer component. - -- brother http://sis.bthstudent.se -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQEcBAEBCAAGBQJPmPldAAoJEJbdSEaj0jV7hOkIAKcV8L56TwAXaaKI3RVlfUWv zW1j3DKlNabLzNpqsvW9lJMG76qOUbEcRu+hYH1zo7TY+9ZGksleTtI58J+ltmVa COJ0d0UciC8iVCowBP29CIvTDbuB6ywTjGr8bBS/9WCPpT5RFFQuUUOYdsWHZw0h dWIIQRin+fKbOGV0pAxMo/0sA1RHBldDmQk61mA7MpG8ZX/S8S4IBND/KBILJ61j ZIEEztIsw5PiY4V5aCl4OgM0akrJXqnh0oMsz7QLxvxYQaZsYlorHNlZcWSZqVxO g3Tzpcd9i1aRdT8+854omO3VOe8lNLgr6hG3UttW1GgSn+baMykUBYqRReqKO6A= =ey1i -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- |

Hi, Here is a page related to the zram module which I would suggest you give a try: http://www.webupd8.org/2011/10/increased-performance-in-linux-with.html search in the page for "Fedora 15+". Make sure there is no such module as "zsmalloc" for the time being, in the staging directory of the kernel tree, because starting one version : I don't know which one for now, this will be less reliable. See information here: http://lwn.net/Articles/477067/ As long as the xvmalloc is used it is ok to have zram in the staging directory : having been using it for years as well as many other users. This should help you have a bit more resource when you need it most at install time. Regards, Mélodie |

Hi Jeff, it's not LXDE that requires that much memory, it's anaconda, the installer. And in fact it was a bug that has meanwhile been fixed. The F16 one is down to 512 MB I think. For questions like this one, please use the Fedora LXDE mailing list at https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/lxde (low traffic) or - as this is problem is not related to LXDE, the general Fedora users list at https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Kind regards, Christoph |

The workaround one can use to disable this memory limit is described here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=708966#c21 And afaik there will be the kernel option in Fedora 17 to disable this limit on boot. -- Aleksandra Bookwar |
