The tests for the 0.6.2 iso went well ... the case of 32M of memory and
64Mb of swap seemed to be exceptionally flaky, failing 2 out of 3 times
with invalid media errors, and taking very long for the 1 time it
succeeded. The CD media was then verified to work properly. It is not
clear if it is flaky hardware or a bad software condition.
The installs were automated by using kickstart (except for the "turn on
swap" dialog that was manually navigated). The time measurement occurred
by touching a file in the %pre and a different file in %post and
comparing the time stamps.
PentiumII 400Mhz CDROM Italian Minimal Install Tests
Case Seconds (%pre -> %post)
mem=12M swap=128M N/A
mem=14M swap=32M 722
mem=14M swap=64M 766
mem=14M swap=128M 731
mem=16M swap=32M 559
mem=16M swap=64M 611
mem=16M swap=128M 567
mem=32M swap=32M 325
mem=32M swap=64M 712*
mem=32M swap=128M 330
* invalid media (both CDROM drives) errors on some install attempts
Finally, the minimal installed systems installed functioned without
problem under low load testing in 8 Mb ... nothing fell over
immediately, that is to say :) ... (how it may behave under load is
another matter)
