I've just found out that Ubuntu (Feisty Fawn Herd 5) is completely uninstallable in a laptop with 250MB of memory. Its "Scanning disk..." dialog may be a nice coffee time companion, but it sure is a pain in the b?tt for users trying to install the beast.
This is a __very__ disappointing experience for me. Even Debian and Slackware could be installed easily nowadays.
The main source of problem seems to point to Ubuntu's decision of making the Installer and the Live CD into one CD and did not provide any installation mode at boot time. This forces user to install from inside Live CD's desktop and thus limiting installable system.
I know Ubuntu's great once you installed it, my desktop is doing fairly fine with it since 5.04 released.
So, to Ubuntu developers, and to Mark Shuttleworth,
I really hope that you'll consider the rest of us in this part of Earth who still need to use "low-powered" computers.
