[fedora-arm] Re: Fedora-Minimal-36-1.5 on raspberry pi 2B

Unfortunately this isn't a matter of arm vs x86_64, it's a matter of the dnf with it's repo's have gotten too big to fit in memory.

This is the discussion on the devel list

"Heads-up / for discussion: dnf not working with 1G of RAM or less"
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/CRREDQUPPJYWVRMA4DOKYU2KZZLKC4D5/#EGO43HCCD6F5Y5GFANFUNUNDEJTWZITU

It's a bit of a long read.

I did see two or three work-arounds.

1 - Add a swap partition and/or swapfile

2 - Use microdnf (but you have to figure out how to install it.  see workaround 1)

3 - Use dnf5 (see workaround 2, and it's still missing some features)

There might be other workarounds that I missed.  As I said, it's a bit of a read.

I do not believe that is supported platform for F37 out of the box.

You may have to build a custom kernel/package set on something that small to run F37.

1Gig is really scraping the bottom of the barrel to run the default image you downloaded.

Plus I would use the raw image, not the armhfp.

But to start  I would strip out all of the desktop components in the image like KDE/GNOME/X and Wayland.

Hello there,

I'm trying to install Fedora-Minimal-36-1.5.armhfp.raw on my raspberry
pi 2B. Installation was a success but the device runs out of memory
when trying to install anything via dnf and I get kicked out of the
shell.

I've followed the installation instructions in
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM/Raspberry_Pi#Manual,
which specify that this model is supported since Fedora 29; so, is
there anything that I'm missing for Fedora to work?

Thanks,

Irene
