[Bug 1294908] Re: Failed to load installer components

[Doug Smythies]

** Description changed:

  My minimum requirements test computer will not install the Trusty 32 bit
  server daily ISO (I have tried 2013.11.25; 2103.12.02; 2014.03.18;
  2014.03.19). It installs the 13.10 32 bit Server edition fine, and will
  update from there to 14.04.
  
  A screen shot will be added.
  
  Screen says:
  
  Load Installer components from CD
  Failed to Load installer components.
  Loading apt-cdrom-setup failed for unknown reasons. Aborting.
  
  The most likely root issue here is that my test computer only has 128
  Megabytes of memory.
  
  Using VM's:
  
  For Saucy server 13.10 a minimum of 102 Megabytes memory is required
  
  For Trusty server 14.04 a minimum of 165 Megabytes memory is required
  
  Therefore installer memory requirements have increased by 64 megabytes.
  
  (which is O.K., we just need to increase the minimum requirements
  specification for Ubuntu Server (which I have done, on both the wiki and
  the Ubuntu Serverguide))
  
+ On average the installer memory requirements increase by 32 megabytes per year. 16.04 Server needs 256 megabytes of memory. However, the gap between
+ the amount of memory needed to install and the amount of memory needed to actually run seems to be shrinking. This bug report was originally filed against the installer because it seemed insane that the installer needed so much more memory that the server needed to run. I think I'll delete the debian-installer as "Affects".
