I noticed that anna's list of modules, displayed in very low memory mode with this patch, is a bit innaccurate now. It says "the listed installer components all have low priority and are probably not necessary", but with the patch, not everything shown has low priority. In my particular case (24 mb netboot install), I naively chose nothing, and it didn't load ide modules so that install failed. The next try, with ide-core-modules and ide-modules worked to partman, though partman seemed to enter a loop during formatting (1.6 mb ram free) and never finished writing the root filesystem. Perhaps I missed another necessary udeb. Anyway, we need to find a neutral wording that works in both modes, or use a different template for lowmem in anna. I've also tested it with 40 mb netboot, and with full memory mode, and both seem to work as they did before, so the patch seems good to me. -- see shy jo
