this weekend project was to get a old laptop working. so i decided to install XP home.. the cd didnt work :( well it was the choir master's laptop
laptop configuration: DELL Inspiron 6000 512 MB RAM 40GB HDD
i tried installing Fedora 16 as my usual practice never bothered to read the "system requirements" :)) the live usb feodra didnt allow me.. gave error message "Insufficient Memory". again without reading the minimum system requirement for Fedora 15 LXDE version downloaded it, tried installing again the same error.
this time i googled what could be done.. thanks "Google" :)
this is the solution:
vi /usr/sbin/anaconda

this is the solution:
vi /usr/sbin/anaconda
search for needed_ram = int((isys.MIN_RAM + extra_ram) / 1024)
change that to
needed_ram = 0 # int((isys.MIN_RAM + extra_ram) / 1024)
or
needed_ram = 0
click the "install to hard disk" button.
my next weekend project would be modify a yii web app to be fully ajax website..
