1. Has the GUI installer of Saucy improved a lot compared to Raring?<br></blockquote><div style><br></div><div style>Yes indeed, that was the 'whole point' to add 'zRAM' :)</div><div style><br></div><div style>

2. Or was I doing something seriously wrong?<br>
<br>
Because I could not install Lubuntu <b><u>Raring</u></b> 32-bit without swap, not even<br>
with the alternate installer, with 256MB RAM. I did it in VirtualBox in<br>
a Precise 32-bit host.<br>

I'll test it tomorrow in Saucy and switch off the memory hogs in<br>
VirtualBox. </blockquote><div><br></div><div style>You do not need to switch anything off :)</div><div style>If you need to have the same result of my tests, you need to understand that you need to use exactly the same steps that I have used.</div>
