Hello,
It appears that recently, CentOS 6.x and Scientific Linux 6.x
installers started to require 512MiB RAM. Our smallest and most
popular VPS plan currently has 480MiB RAM. That means that the
average¹ BitFolk customer now cannot self-install derivatives of
RHEL 6.x.
This is extremely annoying since I suspect that these distributions
work just the same in 480MiB RAM now as they did a few months ago.
I can't find a simple way to override that check (please let me know
if you know of one), and I'm not quite ready to increase the default
RAM allocation to 512MiB.
In the short term I am tempted to make the installer boot with
512MiB RAM if you have 480MiB. It will then revert to 480MiB upon
normal use.
Any comments?
Cheers,
Andy
¹ Mode and median. The mean is 641MiB.
