Which is not relevant here as you can't use d-i on them: http://www.cyrius.com/debian/nslu2/install.html d-i is not currently capable of completing with 64MB RAM (on i386, at least) which is a regression -- but once that's fixed, I see no reason why xz _decompression_ would hurt it in any way. xz needs 10MB above gzip, but regular debs are never decompressed concurrently with some memory-hungry operation (as opposed to udebs). -- “This is gonna be as easy as cheating on an ethics exam!” -Cerise Brightmoon
