2014-03-22 02:22:09 Doug Smythies description My minimum requirements test computer will not install the Trusty 32 bit server daily ISO (I have tried 2013.11.25; 2103.12.02; 2014.03.18; 2014.03.19). It installs the 13.10 32 bit Server edition fine, and will update from there to 14.04. A screen shot will be added. Screen says: Load Installer components from CD Failed to Load installer components. Loading apt-cdrom-setup failed for unknown reasons. Aborting. The most likely root issue here is that my test computer only has 128 Megabytes of memory.

(which is O.K., we just need to increase the minimum requirements specification for Ubuntu Server (which I have done, on both the wiki and the Ubuntu Serverguide)) On average the installer memory requirements increase by 32 megabytes per year. 16.04 Server needs 256 megabytes of memory. However, the gap between the amount of memory needed to install and the amount of memory needed to actually run seems to be shrinking. This bug report was originally filed against the installer because it seemed insane that the installer needed so much more memory that the server needed to run. I think I'll delete the debian-installer as "Affects". Hardware profile: http://www.smythies.com/~doug/network/s06_profile/index.html
