Sounds sane to me. > This is no longer sufficient for current kernels in Stretch and > should be increased. WTF? I still have VMs (running Wheezy) which work with 48 MB of RAM. I also have hardware with just 80 MB of RAM which run slow but fine with Jessie. (But since Stretch won't support Pentium 1 anymore I need to look for another distro for that machine anyways.)-: Ian Jackson wrote: > I suggest we increase it to 512M.

Not really, but if you want, I'll give you commit access upstream, i.e. at https://github.com/xen-tools/xen-tools -- just tell me your GitHub user name. (Actually, I'd appreciate any help with xen-tools' maintenance as I don't use it as often as in the past anymore due to a job change, and hence its importance for me is lower than it was in the past. :-/ ) I'll try do an upload of what's in git plus your propositions below at least. And I should probably add the latest upcoming Ubuntu release name "zesty". > I would probably apply patches > from these bugs > #849867 default config has too-low default memory size > #842609 Inconsistent handling of --nopygrub parameter > #764625 no gateway in /etc/network/interfaces > (after double checking the source etc., which I have not yet done.) The last one looks as if I forgot about that bug report. Thanks for the heads up about these bugs and about xen-tools in general.
