Text, vnc, or kickstart installations are advised over graphical installation for systems with very low memory. Larger package sets require more memory during installation, so users with less than 768MB of system memory may have better results preforming a minimal install and adding to it afterward.</div><div>For best results on systems with less than 1GB of memory, use the DVD installation image.</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Sep 7, 2014 at 6:23 PM, Chris Murphy <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:lists@colorremedies.com" target="_blank">lists@colorremedies.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div style="word-wrap:break-word"><br><div><span class=""><div>On Sep 7, 2014, at 4:46 PM, Bat Phil <<a href="mailto:batphil64@gmail.com" target="_blank">batphil64@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</div><br><blockquote type="cite"><p dir="ltr">I did consider that possibility Eddie and it may well limit my ultimate choice of desktop.

Gnome has a work around to deal with blacklisted or less capable video hardware. It's slower and takes up more memory, but again it still shouldn't crash. So I'm suggesting that's a bug that may already be fixed by upgrading. Or it might take some searching in bugzilla to find it and possibly a work around. Or worse case it's unique to your hardware in which case it'd be good to file a bug.</div><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Chris Murphy</div></font></span></div><br>--<br>
