Bug Description
Hoary Preview Release.
The installer fails to detect that the computer is a dual processor machine and
thus the smp kernel should be used. Likely related to not using the smp kernel,
it does not report the total available RAM memory, 1.5 GB. Instead, it only
reports 1 GB as the total usable memory.
Attempts to install the smp kernel subsequently failed. Likely cause: Bad deb
package.

This is simply because the SMP kernel is not on the CD, so it cannot be
installed in the first stage of the install. Any fix for this would be an
enhancement, not critical.
