I'm curious about that one... Which one is faster, a frugal install or a full install? Or is it the same? After toying with a frugal install (the wiki was very clear as to how to do it) I did a full install on my PII/192 MB RAM notebook. I'm trying to figure out which one is faster... I was under the impression that in any install all the OS was still copied to RAM... but I may be wrong... if it's not: can it be done? Is it worth it?Pizzasgood wrote:But the funny thing is that the "full" install is inferior to the "frugal" install, in general. In low ram situations it could perform better, but a frugal install should automatically not load into ram when you have less than a certain threshold (128MB, last I checked. May have increased since then), in which case they'd be about the same. But the frugal still wouldn't use as much space as a full install, and it's easier to back up or replace, and less messy.
