Bug Description
Binary package hint: debian-installer
Intrepid Ibex 8.10
I am attempting to install with 64 Mb of RAM. Frist attempt was as a VMWARE virtual machine. The install hung in the hardware detection phase and finally printed "KILL' to the terminal window continuously.
The second attempt was on an older COMPAQ machine with 64 Mb of physical memory. The installer hung at detecting network hardware. Under Windows XP, the PC has functioned as expected. It does have a network card installed, connected to my home network.
I expected the hardware detection phase to either find the hardware or not rather than haning at a particular stage.

It's run out of memory, I'm afraid; although that is rather unexpected with 64MB of RAM, so I'll reassign to lowmem. (We may not end up working around this in lowmem but it's a useful holding area for low-memory problems in the alternate installer.)
