*RC2 installation cdrom requires 52MB of RAM to succesfully copy files to harddisk in VMware. This looks to me as a regression, as 0.25/0.26 was able to do this with 20MB of XMS. If using a lower amount of RAM than 52, the copy process hangs at a certain percentage. Please confirm, as ROS requirements are stated as 'Pentium, 32MB RAM' (IIRC)
This is indeed a blocker. The release version should not require anywhere near that amount of RAM. Do we have a leak? Are our flushing algorithms broken? I thought that the installer would notice when memory is running out, and clean up the cache.
