installing arch with less than 64mb RAM...

Hi!

Maybe I will need to install linux to old machines, pentium 2, with 64mb ram maximum...

I love archlinux... but, there is any way to install it with that ram amount?


(as I read that the new livecd install needs at least 192mb ram?)

Arch can run on systems with much less system memory, requiring only 64MB of RAM for a base i686 install, and will run flawlessly on more modern systems

Sorry, I didn't read your post correctly sad

This way, I guess you'll find this thread disappointing

You might need to boot with the 'lowmem' option
