Description Clemens Eisserer 2010-05-24 15:11:23 EDT 
Description of problem:

I tried installing a Fedora-13RC3 LiveCD on a rather old computer (384mb ram, 17gb harddrive). 
Although the live-cd worked great, clicking on the "Install" icon simply did nothing - no error dialog, no popup, nothing.

When I searched in anaconda's log-file it mentioned there was not enough free RAM, so it launched in text-mode. Quite bad with X already running and without a console to see its output ;)


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Fedora13RC3 live cd

How reproducible:
Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start live-cd on a system with 384mb ram or less
2. Click the "install"-icon on the desktop
  
Actual results:
Nothing happens, not even a notification popup.


Expected results:
Anaconda should check wether there's swap-space available, and report that the machine has less RAM than recommended and that therefor the installation, giving the user the choice between no installation and a (maybe?) slow one.

Hi Clemens,

Thanks.

Forget it. This has been fixed rawhide, we didn't put it into f13 since it is not a blocker, see http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=anaconda.git;a=commit;h=3d977a502d773a1b1764b73f8e423c5350e1f929.
