From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i586; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020830 Description of problem: On a 64 megs box when you try to customize package selection there is furious CD activity while you have to wait for <b>several minutes</b> after each mouse click and at least thirty seconds for mere mouse movements. Problem is that at this stage swap is still not activated so linux cannot move modified pages to it so the only thing it can do is discard code pages. <p> Either installation is smart enough to shift to text mode when a 64 megs is detected or when detecting a such box you activate the swap sooner like it was done in 7.x Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install RedHat while passing mem=64 megs as boot parm 2.Continue installation until package selction 3.Select and unselect a few packages and wait and wait and wait while your CD reader goes crazy. With luck you will damage it from excessive head movement. Additional info:
The point at which swap is activated early has been changed in our internal trees to help improve this.
