Dropping support for nslu2 is fine with me. As noted above, I can continue running it with an older kernel and be equally happy. Or I could retire it and get (another) rpi.
What would be (a little) worse for me though is dropping orion5 support. I rely on security updates for my ts-209. OTOH, by 2016 it may well be ready to be replaced by something faster. /B On Wed, Jun 26, 2013 at 11:29 AM, Martin Guy <martinw...@gmail.com> wrote: > On 26 June 2013 11:06, Mark Morgan Lloyd > <markmll.debian-...@telemetry.co.uk> wrote: > > Another issue for tiny devices is the amount of RAM the Debian installer > > assumes is available, which now appears to be >256Mb. > > I just debootstrapped wheezy onto an armel board with 64MB RAM and no swap. > Everything worked fine with the single exception of packages that > contain files compressed with .xz, which died for lack of RAM - there > were were one or two.
