It appears that the 'Low Memory Mode' prompt is waiting for me to press enter. The instructions on <http://www.cyrius.com/debian/nslu2/install.html> don't show anything new AFAICT. I expected that the system would boot to SSH and I'd be on my way. Is there something else we need to do on 32MiB slugs? Do I need to create a swap partition on the USB device before installing Debian? Cheers -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-arm-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
